Hello.

I took the day off yesterday and drove up to HM.

The road is closed right past a ranch that's nearby. Big steel gate. Posted sign read "Closed for winter".

I don't mean to be dense but does it mean that it will be open in spring? My gut tells me it is more depend on weather conditions...

Is there a listing of road closures and opening dates somewhere? A quick google search got me no valuable info.

Thanks. Chris.

Awww man! Wish you had asked here. That gate is closed every winter. There is one up on White Mtn road, too. Most other roads don't have a winter gate.

I believe the Inyo County Road Dept in Independence controls the gate. You can call and ask for status.   760-878-0202

Thanks for your reply.

It was a bit of a bummer to drive all the way but it was not that bad. The scenery is so worth it.
