Alerts
Log in to add an alertDue to the washouts on the North Fork Road at milepost 6.4 and 6.7 this run is not readily accessible at the present time. The turn for FR 6330 is at mile 9.1 on the North Fork Road. This road is currently closed to the public from mile 6.4 to mile 14. The washouts at mile 6.4 and 6.9 represent the most significant damage and the county anticipates it will take 5-10 years to complete engineering, secure federal funding for repairs, complete the work, and open the road for public use. Access from Jack's Pass may become available before that.
