The first three miles of the eight-mile long Obstruction Point Road is open to public access. The road is clear of snow and has been graded as far as Waterhole.

Visitors are advised that there is limited parking at Waterhole and asked to use extra care to avoid blocking the gate.

Beyond the gate, crews are still working on clearing and preparing the remaining five miles of road.

The Hurricane Hill Road (the 1.5 mile of road that leads past the Hurricane Ridge Visitor Center to the Hurricane Ridge picnic area and Hurricane Hill trailhead) is open.
