Use extreme caution on Gold Valley Road, which has not been repaired since it was damaged by flooding 8/23. There is a section which could tip over a stock 4x4 high clearance vehicle.
Damn, I wish there were more photos available of these road conditions. Its clear that NPS (and/or Caltrans) are surveying all these roads, and surely they are taking photos to document their condition. Yet they are being very stingy in sharing these photos, and I can't think of any good reason for the lack of transparency. Its not like this is a security issue, or some govt secret.
I went up Gold Valley last spring and I'm pretty sure I know the spot that's trouble. It was already off camber enough to make me take it really slow, though it wasn't the scariest tilt I've ever driven through.
