looking to make a few last spring riding trips to Lincoln/Copper Creek before May 20. Any news in the way of a road report is super appreciated. Thanks guys!!
2023 Lincoln and Copper Creek Road Conditions
- Thread starter go high fast
- Start date
Is it on snowest, because the forums seem pretty slow (dead?) right now...
Not much snow left and could only get one sled up and around the debris field from the avalanche just before the trail head. Couldn’t quite get it back so we had to run into town to pick up a chainsaw and buzz our way through the debris field. Snow bridge over the creek just hanging by a thread and it looks real thin on the first step up to the bowls. Not sure a guy could get up to the bowls in another day or two. Pictures to follow.

Some of it was small enough to move without sawing, we chose our path through to minimize cuts, so maybe an hour?, but between me getting stuck awkwardly / thrown from the logs up around the top and running to town to get a chainsaw and coming back, our day was over basically... and our season... but its all an adventure anyway, just some seasons end a little differently than others! Riding 2-up on mixed snow and gravel carrying a saw and gas and bar oil

All I can say is - what a difference a week makes... we had a number of stretches of gravel before the debris pile, and like go high fast said, the snow bridges over that little creek were just hanging on to the brush basically and probably would not have lasted another day, so you'd be riding through the rocks of that little creek too and trying to get out the other side...
We rode up there on June 1, probably close to 20 years ago now. Actually did it several years. It was before everything burned and you could drive right to the snow just before the bridge and unload on the snow. Also remember parking way down and riding several mile of dirt a time or 2. Towed a sled out with no hood (used to take them off in the spring) down through the slush and then the miles of gravel.......poor sled.
