My understanding from 294 conversations with park staff this winter is that the North Hwy is under County jurisdiction and the LAST time it was being repaired/cleared it was contracted out to a local company, not handled by the park OR the county. No word yet this time on who is in charge.
But likely NPS will have absolutely zero info on it until it’s suddenly open. Last time I was told that no park officials were notified that it opened. They just drive by one day and it was open.
Apparently the roads within the park are a hodge podge of jurisdictions. I have learned much about it and it remains a complete mystery to me. Apparently the county still holds sway over Greenwater Rd fir some reason? Baffling.
I’ll report as soon as I hear anything. But it will likely be “who knows” until it’s open. My last conversation was “are we talking days? Weeks? Next year?” Response was “no clue”. But my gut says a couple of weeks.
