Road Bulletins
This area has been heavily burned out from the Gun Creek Fire last year and the start of the road is quite degraded. I only drove up to the closure sign 50m up. I'm not sure if this sign was there before, but thought I'd share in case anyone is planning to access Dickson Peak.
This road continues further than shown on some mapping apps, we were able to drive all the way to within ~100m of the cabin (Dickson Peak trailhead). After the recent logging ends the road became steep, a bit rocky, couple of snowpatches, lots of crossditches, one tree that required chainsawing - but the creeks mentioned in Steven Song's TR had fresh culverts installed & the roadbed has been reworked. HC 4x4 recommended, otherwise you can park where the logging currently ends, just a bunch of deep but wide crossditches to this point. The area between the current logged boundary and the cabin is likely going to be logged soon, loggers don't spend $$s on shiny new culverts for nothing.
