Snow blocks access to Mormon Emigrant Trail
Mormon Emigrant Trail, once touted as an alternate route while Echo Summit is closed, won’t be an option.
With about 10-feet of snow covering it, according to the U.S. Forest Service, it may not see traffic until mid-June.
The trail goes between Sly Park and Highway 88.
Highway 50 will be closed across Echo Summit starting May 11 for 10-14 days, with about six weeks of controlled traffic after that while the rock wall is replace.
This website describes the alternate routes.

Local’s get the shaft again. What is the options for locals to get out to go to work and such in places like P’Ville. I have called and looked on the websites and can not find anything telling locals how to get out unless we want to go to Sacramento. Does anyone have the answer? Are we using Johnson pass? UGH….
It’s a attempt to make you spend your money here.
Only the rich guys with the planes at our taxpayers airport are allowed to leave.
Or you can purchase another tahoe gouge over inflated ticket at TAHOE AIR.
LOL
Get It??
