Anyone know how far one might get up Horseshoe Meadow Rd these days?

The road is closed, three miles from the junction of the Horseshoe meadows/ Lubkin canyon road.

Take a look at this photo, taken on March 5th

When I drove through last week the snow had receeded quite a bit. It isn't as heavy on the slope where the road is, though I expect the road is holding snow better.

The bottom two switchbacks are on the far left of the picture(taken March 28th).

Yeah, I realize it's closed, as is Portal road. Just trying to figure out how far I could realistically make it up. I'm kicking around the idea of Langley next weekend.

Reread Kashcraft's post. When he says the road is closed, he's talking about the gate that they lock at the bottom of the hill. The gate was still locked as of the 31st.
