Canebrake Road in Winter? / sanity check

Post by Flamingo »

Hi All,
I'm looking for information and trip reports about Canebrake Road in winter snow conditions. I can't find anything, which makes me think I need a sanity check on this trip idea -- My plan is to try a winter ascent of Lamont Peak on Tuesday Jan 31st, and then Sawtooth Peak on Wednesday Feb 1st. I'm bringing snowshoes, crampons, ice axe, and full winter kit, etc. I'll have a high clearance AWD. I'm currently monitoring weather on Mountain-Forecast.com, and snow coverage on Sentinel Hub. Canebrake Road looks snow-free, at least up to the Lamont trailhead. Anyway, what am I overlooking?

Call Cal Trans or the CHP for specific road information. Ed
I like soloing with friends.
