I encountered the same locked gate when I tried to complete the loop. That was around 4:45pm. Had to turn around, but at least I saw a beautiful sunset from one of the turnoffs.I guess that we all arrived at different times. ... After Prewitt Ridge, I did head south on the trail to see if I could complete the loop as per Gaia's route, but came to a locked gate a few miles down which forced me to turn around and take the same way out to SR1. I did see a tan Taco coming up the dirt trail toward Prewitt Ridge - was that you, Scorpio VI? It was probably a bit after 3 PM.

Went on your shared route today. Been there a few times before but had never been to Knee Deep. Thanks for sharing, hope my pictures will inspire someone else to go. For anyone thinking about going this trip is super easy, 75% paved and 25% maintained gravel roads. Any stock rig can handle this, might be a different story on a really wet year.Shared route

Nice photos. I'm jealous. I didn't get to make it out on Sunday like I planned. Was it cold?Went on your shared route today. Been there a few times before but had never been to Knee Deep.

Yeah, you definitely have to get out there. I started at Colfax at 1pm and was at the brewery by 4:05. That’s also with me stopping to take pictures. You could definitely sleep in and still have time to go out there. Temp was probably high 40’s low 50’s, nothing too crazy. Surprisingly my 2016 Frontier doesn’t have a temp display or else I would have known exact temps.Nice photos. I'm jealous. I didn't get to make it out on Sunday like I planned. Was it cold?
