Roads – Our road crew has a massive winter snowpack to remove from the park road. Good progress has been made from the northwest entrance. Ten miles have been cleared. With 20 more miles to go and a more difficult task ahead, it will be several weeks before the road is entirely snow-free. Before the road opens to vehicles, an excellent opportunity awaits! Walking or bicycling the cleared section of the road without cars is a definite shoulder-season activity.
Trails – All established hiking trails are hidden by deep winter snowpack. Hiking trails are non-existent until they melt out. Bring your winter equipment to explore on foot beyond the parking areas.
Keep tabs on current conditions and road-clearing operations to aid your trip-planning efforts. http://ow.ly/45Gr50NVw7p
