Can we trailer up Fairbanks Creek Road to the Circle to Fairbanks trailhead or is the actual trail plowed into the mines?

I drove down this after noon. It's plowed about 7 miles in to a closed gate. The trail head and parking area was unplowed and looked completely rideable.

You can trailer to both places. The Trailhead at 2.6 mile or just his side of the gate where you can park and head up to the trail to the left from there. Both should be fine.
