High Sierra Topix

Due to the need for removing additional large trees from Reds Meadow before the impending winter snow, Reds Meadow Road will be now be closed for the winter on the Mammoth Ranger District.

While contractors work on the weekdays due to the Reds Meadow Road Reconstruction Project, contractors through the @Whitebark Institute are removing trees from the valley on the weekends as part of a fuels reduction effort as quickly as possible before substantial snow arrives. With an even more narrow one-lane road due to the reconstruction project, the road is not safe for both logging trucks and public use.
