1. Is the road to Cottonwood/Horseshoe Meadows closed for the season?

The site below says the campground is closed, but does that imply the road is also closed to get up there? It says mid-November is "usual" close date, but I know the variability of the weather could mean it could be still open.

2. Same question for the trailhead to Kearsarge Pass
