So you should be able to get from Trona to the 190 via Panamint Valley.
You can't get up to Wildrose from Panamint Valley though, hard closure until probably Fall 2025.

And don't worry netllama, I've read enough of your trip reports to know what NOT to do while behind the wheel!
Hehehehe. I love being the cautionary tale.

Tangential to the park but it looks like 127 is opening back up on Dec 4th.

South entrance via Badwater/178 to Shoshone is open!
Also, be sure to follow the link above regarding the 127 opening. There will be long delays due to single lane piloting.

Minor update:
North Rd

But it looks like Emigrant Rd is pushed back to after April.

Looks like Inyo Co has North Pass to Saline Valley open. I’m getting conflicting info on whether or not the warm springs are open. As of Thanksgiving NPS had a Ranger out there writing tickets.
The map also shows the DV/Big Pine Rd open to Eureka Dunes.
