If I recall correctly, some of the forest roads in that area have locked gates during the winter -- the ranger would know where the closures are. There may be a way around the closures, because the roads in that area have many cross-connections.
I didn't see any places where the road could be blocked with a gate or fence. It's possible though. Most of the areas where there were fences near the road included cattle crossing guards. That would be a great question for the Ranger and BLM. I wouldn't go in if there was snow on the ground. I do know, people normally go in there around November to the end of December to hike because of the cooler temperatures. That area, which includes Kanab, Fredonia, Tuweep and the overlook don't get much of any snow during the winter. The regular North-Rim access road is closed until May 15th because of the altitude at that place in the canyon. January and February could be questionable. We did our trip in March and had great weather and road conditions. We had a lot of rain on Friday and by the following Wednesday the roads were completely dry even with cooler temperatures in the 50s.
