Swansea Grade conditions

[RedRob]

Hoping to be in that area in early December. Anyone have relatively current info on the condition of Swansea Grade? Last time is was there was a couple of years ago, and it was getting sketchy. TY

RedRob,

Led an OB trip through Cerro Gordo before Mojave Guardian trip. Made it to Salt Tram and Tenders Cabin, the daylight was drawing to a close so did not want to trek down an unknown canyon. I think best to go from 190 up canyon, but very recent storms likely caused damage to this road Uncertain I know 190 was closed due to landslides closer to the Death Valley NP western boundary near the U2 Joshua Tree.
