Mammoth @ 610" for the season

By the way, I haven't seen any official state announcement that the drought is over, but the CA state beach parks turned their showers on last week. They've been off for the last two years with signs explaining the drought situation. They turned them on without any fan fare or announcement.
I think the state is trying to keep the expectation level low. We rec'd a flyer from our city water two weeks ago with a list of mandated water management programs like watering days, etc.

I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.

May 24, 2017 (updated about twice per week)
Road crews are plowing from west to east and have reached the west end of the Olmsted Point avalanche zone (which is just west of Tenaya Lake). Avalanche conditions are currently unsafe, but may improve in the next few days. Safety is the top priority, so crews will wait until conditions are safe before plowing through the avalanche chute. Meanwhile, crews are widening the plowed lanes and performing road repairs elsewhere on Tioga Road.
