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.

Re: 2025 Fire and Smoke Impact Reports
Per Maverick's report:
We could have used 120 through Yosemite too, rather than the onerous detour through Hawthorne and Hwy 167. We heard that today 5/26, cars would also be allowed with an escort.
It seemed to us that all structures had been saved around Mono City, and the surrounding environs-- not sure, hope so.
It made for a cool sunset:

We were held in Lee Vining yesterday till 8 PM, when we were allowed to cross the fire corridor just north of Lee Vining on 395, with a PD escort.Due to a brush fire, U.S. 395 is CLOSED from Lee Vining to State Route 167 in Mono County.
