Exceptions and limits

• The road is closed to general motor vehicle traffic on summer weekends and holidays when the shuttles are operating - use the free Route 2 shuttle from the Giant Forest Museum.
• Single vehicles longer than 22 feet and any vehicle towing a unit are prohibited on this road at all times.
• In winter the road closes to cars once snow accumulates and typically stays closed until Memorial Day weekend.
• Effective dates here mirror the published 2026 shuttle operating season, since NPS ties the weekend closure to shuttle operation rather than publishing its own date range.
