Forestdale Road no longer open to snowmobilers

With plenty of snow on the ground, Forestdale Road in Hope Valley is closed to snowmobiles for the season as of Dec. 28.

The Carson Ranger District of the U.S. Forest Service prevents access because the are is next to the Mokelumne Wilderness Area and motorized vehicles are not allowed in any wilderness area.

Hope Valley Snopark is open to snowmobilers as a staging area.
