This page exists because of July 2021. When the Tamarack Fire forced the county's evacuation, guests needed sources, not adjectives. Everything linked here is the primary outlet locals themselves check — Caltrans for the passes, the USGS gauge for the river, CDFW for the regulations and the plants, the state park for the pool. External links open in a new tab.
Check these before you drive up rather than after, because there is no cell signal at the resort and none over either pass. What no link can tell you is what the road and the water actually look like this morning — for that, call (530) 694-2229. The phone is answered by people looking out the window at the river.
