This was more of a recon mission to check out the recent fire and see if I could make it to Corral Pass. Came up FS 7174 and got turned back at about 5,600 due to consistent, deep, hard-packed snow as I was only in my sneakers. The road up is fine for foot travel as it's closed at the 1st gate, I'm guessing is around 2,800'. A few big blow downs and rock slide would need to be cleared for motor vehicles.
The top half of the hike, the forest was scorched-earth burned, not a lot living up there now. A great hike with good e-gain none-the-less. And a beautiful day as well!
