Friday July 24th 2015 the USFS opened old flowers road.  It's pretty moderate and most light duty passenger SUV's can make it on the main road no problem.  Only a few wet buggy places that some careful tire placement or momentum can get you through.

this area was devistated first by fire in 2012, the High Park Fire to be exact, and then the following year by flood.  In 2013 we had historic rains/flooding and due to the root structure being gone, water washed out many of the roads up here.  It wasn't until late last year that the road was finally repaired and opened to the public.

Part 1 of the video takes you to the first large homestead in the area.  Sadly most of the history we had documented up here has been wiped off the map due to the intense fire.
