road conditions at Guanella Pass, Colorado?

Try http://www.cotrip.org. Click on the "Road Conditions" link under
the "Travel Information" column. I don't see Guanella Pass listed,
but this might be the closest info available on the web.

It seems that if it isn't plowed during the winter there must be a
reason for it. Maybe it's because they don't want imbicles going up
there in the winter!

A website suggests that the road IS kept passable by passenger
vehicles (though not recommended for bigger vehicles such as RV's) all
year:

Although neither website seems to have specific information about
Guanella Pass road conditions, phoning the Clear Creek Ranger District
http://www.fs.fed.us/r2/arnf/about/o...rd/index.shtml
or the Colorado Department of Transportation
http://www.dot.state.co.us/TravelInfo/CurrentCond/
might prove helpful.

Note that after several drought years they seem to be getting more or
less the typical amount of snow up there this winter. Be prepared
with appropriate clothing, supplies, and the flexibility to delay your
trip if the weatherman and/or a look out the window suggests that it
Just Isn't Gonna Be.

The road *is* maintained and plowed during the winter but since it's a
secondary road it's not cleared as quickly after storms as the more heavily
traveled roads.

Maybe it's because they don't want imbicles going up
there in the winter!

It's pretty clear who the "imbicle" is
