02/08/2008, 5:00 p.m. Wind River Highway continues to be closed at MP 15 due to excessive snow. Estimated date of opening will be some time next week.
02/01/2008, 3:20 p.m. Forest Road 90 is closed due to snow at the junction of FS 90 and FS 25. The 90/25 junction is near the Pine Creek Information Center, the old school house and the Eagle Cliff Store. FS 90 has packed snow with only a single lane passable beginning from the FS 90/FS 83 junction on the west, through to the FS 90/FS 25 junction on the east. Drivers should limit travel on FS 90 between the 83 and 25 junctions because of the single lane on FS 90 which makes turning around difficult and vehicles may become stuck and/or stranded in the snow.
01/31/2008, 1:37 p.m. Wind River Highway (Highway 30) has been closed at milepost 14, just past the Carson National Fish Hatchery to the Curly Creek Road cutoff because of excessive snow (over four feet). Included in the closure are sno-parks at Old Man Pass, Koshko, McClellan Meadows, Curly Creek, Rush Creek and Lone Butte.
Government Mineral Springs Sno-Park will remain open.
Wind River Highway closure will continue until further notice as more snow is expected.
