FJ Cruisers of Northern California
Iron Mountain Road / aka Mormon Imigrant Trail
After sitting idle for the past several months, I headed up to Iron Mountain Rd today. Located east of Placerville / Sly Park Exit. Snow was found just a few miles up from the lake.
Snow was decent, any stock Toyota can pass with little difficulty. Low ground cleareance will pose a few challenges as deep snow will eventually force you to break out a shovel and or a tow strap.
On this Presidents Day, I found a few snow campers along the trail and a few casual wheelers up to enjoy the sun and snow. It was warm, about 50 degrees.

We went up Sunday to the same spot. Great weather. We made it all the way to Virginia City (after we played in the snow on the trail). It was dead everywhere. Reno was no to busy, but Cabelas was packed. Came home the westside of the lake. Long drive, no one on the road, Cabelas parking lot had 6 FJs (including ours), great dinner (had a whole room to ourselves on V-Day.
Looks like you had fun!

No probs, my plans aren't to solid either. I just wanted to check out the road and see how good the snow coverage is.
