The guard station is open from late May or early June through late October each year and is accessible by car except after snow events at the beginning and end of the season.
quoted from the description Recreation.gov publishes for this facility
At 8,004 ft, expect nights below freezing well into June, water systems shut off outside a short summer window, and a long climb to get here. The season above is what the agency publishes; snow can move it.
