    Well its a hot topic as you probably saw from that link. Legally they are suppose to have one of two routes open on condition of the wilderness area, but Boulder fails at this. A 20+ year battle, that has gotten nowhere with nice talk. Been talked about getting a large group together and just doing it.

    Either fix the tunnel or open up the other route, which I understand is a lot rougher...but by LAW they are to have one of these open to vehicles to get across. Chances are being that it has been 20 years...some Boulderite hiking would call on you although you be perfectly in your legal right. I don't think anyone has challenged this...and my .02 cents it will ever get settled if someone does...if I had millions to fight a legal battle I be up to the task (not being a local for that area, and not having millions means I'm not risking it unless there is a large group to protest it then I would).
