I drove this trail on June 26, 2018. Signs on the road indicate that unlicensed vehicles are allowed on this road for its entire length. The book incorrectly states they are not. At the time we wrote the book, the MVUM had not been issued and there was no way to know.
Tried both ends of Shrine today. The Vail Pass side was clear to 11,000 feet where extended snow fields begin...See More
Shrine open the full length. Looks like some trail repairs were done on the Red Cliff side.
