Reds Meadow Road

Devils Postpile National Monument and Reds Meadow Road are closed for the season. They will not reopen before June 2024.

Reds Meadow Road Reconstruction Project - 2024

Reds Meadow Road is being reconstructed to greatly improve public access and traffic safety for all who visit the area, reduce likelihood of vehicular accidents and shorten emergency response times. The U.S. Forest Service and National Park Service appreciate your patience and understanding as the contractor works to reconstruct the road and stabilize the hillside over the next few years.

Reds Meadow Road, which provides access to Devils Postpile National Monument, will be closed 24 hours per day for construction work from Sundays at 11 pm through Fridays at 9 am during the summer 2024 season.

Additionally, the road will be open:

  • Independence Day weekend: Wednesday, July 3, at noon, through Sunday, July 7, at 7 pm
  • Labor Day weekend: Friday, August 30, at 9 am, through Monday, September 2, at 7 pm

This closure also affects shuttle service.

Please visit Inyo National Forest's website for more information.
