Reds Meadow Road Now Closed for Winter
- With the scheduled removal of additional large trees from Reds Meadow before the impending winter snow, the Inyo National Forest has closed Reds Meadow Road for the winter season.
- Contractors from 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.
