The road to the trail is in its typical bad condition, you definitely need at least a small suv for the 2 miles from the main road. There are patches of snow and within the trees there are fields of snow. Most of it is packed down by hikers, but we wore micro spikes with trail running shoes and only had a few small slides. Not many fall colors, but gorgeous views with the snow.
I tried using the gps coordinates to get here and they go to a dead end road that passes the other thorp mountain hike (1316, thorp lake) FYI. Use the written directions instead. The sign for the trail head is small, attached high on a tree, so once you go up the hill that says thorp creek, make sure you pay attention once you’re close to 2 miles.
