Couldn't quite get to the trailhead. The road leading to the trailhead was largely snow free, but a few miles before the Godman Guard Station (a couple miles after you take a right at the stone monument) the road was covered in a foot or two of snow. Vehicles with four wheel drive could probably make it, but I didn't try in my 2wd. I probably would have taken the chance if the snow weren't next to a steep drop off. Sorry this isn't actually a trip report but thought it may be helpful for people wondering what snow cover is like out there. Luckily the road to the trailhead had plenty of nice campsites so we just setup camp there and explored around there. Saw an elk on our way out in the morning and plenty of people on their 4-wheelers.
Also kind of disappointing how much trash was left behind by people at the campsites. There were beer cans and paper plates left in the firepit. There was also broken glass in a few different spots around the campground. Apparently it was too tough for people to cleanup after themselves and just put their trash in their car.

Looks like a young moose! Exciting sighting in the blues.
