Executes new order closing Deer Valley Road (8N02)

June 29, 2024 - SONORA, California - As recreation specialist continue evaluating roads on the Stanislaus National Forest, we’re pleased to announce the early termination of Forest Order STF-16-2024-06 that closed several higher elevation roads on the Mi-Wok/Summit and Calaveras Ranger Districts. With the termination, the determination was made to execute a new order (Forest Order STF-16-2024-07), closing Dear Valley Road until July 11, 2024.

“Our folks are out there nearly every day evaluating conditions, clearing damage from the previous season and ensuring the safest possible conditions on our roads ways,” said Stanislaus National Forest Supervisor, Jason Kuiken. “Couple that with regular communication between field going and office staff and we are pleased to open these rods earlier than expected.”
