Yes, Deer Valley is passable all the way through. There was no more snow as of SierraFest.

You might wanna check with the ranger station first, my biddy told me they blocked the road on the north side

 

[blondejoncherokee]

why would they block the road? excessive erosion?
stanisluas or el dorado ranger station?

 

[Mike1331]

Fuz blocked it due to snow. Not sure which county but apparently there a station right next to the northerly entrance of the trail your talking about.

I passed through it with Ericsxj a month ago. There was snow, but it wasn't impassible. Water is low too.

I did get stuck on some snow. (I'm good at that)

By now there should be no problems.

cool. so can we get in from the 88 side?
i want to run strawbeery to 88 and DV to 4 then 4 to parrots ferry road to sonora to niagra rim from thurs night thru saturday...

i found out that the lake tahoe hi/los did a poker run on the 20th from north to south so im guessing it had to be open for that?

Wife and I went thru from 88 side 2 weekends ago, no snow on the trail at all.
