Reds Meadow Road Reconstruction Project - 2025

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.

Please check the Inyo National Forest webpage for scheduled delays, opening and closing times for Reds Meadow Road this season. This closure also affects shuttle service.

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