Ok, trip is getting close and I’m thinking about food. I was going to make tacos Friday night and burgers Saturday night. Do you all want to coordinate and bring the same?
Where you up there last weekend for the trail maintenance day? I saw a post on TacomaWorld and I called the ranger station and confirmed the first gate at the highway and Niagara Rim are indeed open.
Trip update: 4WD in Motion club went up over the weekend and cleared the trail with the USFS so the trail should be open soon.
There is still a forest order in place for Eagle Meadows Road that is in effect until July 14th https://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/fseprd1117498.pdf...
Forest order still has the road closed so my guess is no. Order has it closed until June 30

You could make it interesting and take Ebbets Pass Hwy 4 and then take 5N02 Beardsley Dam Road from Hwy 4 at Sourgrass to 108 near Beardsley Reservoir. You would need to go 8 miles down the mountain to Cold Springs for fuel but it could be an fun alternate route instead of Sonora Pass.
The road to the campground is open, but you cannot continue North on USAL road past the campground to get all the way to Shelter Cove. That Northern portion is still closed, I was there last weekend.
FYI, acording to Medocino County Road Closures And Delays USAL road is still closed at the campground.
