Roads
Wheeler Peak Scenic Drive is paved, but steep and winding. Vehicles over 24 feet in length are not recommended beyond Upper Lehman Creek Campground. The scenic drive is open three miles to Upper Lehman Campground year-round. The upper nine miles of the road are generally open June through October, weather dependent.
Baker Creek Road is a graded gravel road and is generally open May through November, weather dependent.
Remote park roads (Strawberry, Snake, Lexington) are open year-round, but can be muddy or snowy in the winter and spring. High clearance vehicles are recommended for these rough, dirt roads. Please drive slowly; speeding is the most common cause of accidents on these roads!
