When the government opens the gate, which seems to be later & later every year, biased on my 45+ years of red / coyote trail use. Snow used to close the trails, now it is government gates.
Did you know that that trail used to loop through coyote, beryl & out to brewer lake, before the enviros infiltrated the forest service.
I call & write the forest service every year to ask them to at least open the gate at 168 before june 1st.
A few years ago one forest service employee told me he would not open the gate on "HIS" trail until there was no moisture ( not snow) on the trail.
Good Luck & Happy Wheelin on whats left & open.
