“After another winter of heavy snow, especially later in the season, we want to ensure that our roads are in the best possible condition before they see the heavy traffic of summer recreation,” said Martinez.

Road closures have been extended pursuant to 16 U.S.C. § 551 and 36 C.F.R. § 261.50(b), and to provide for public safety, motor vehicle use is prohibited within the roads listed below of the Stanislaus National Forest.

With the forest order, the below listed roads will remain closed from June 11, 2024, through June 30, 2024.
