Snow Levels low on CABDR

We have had reports from riders on the CABDR that snow is present going up the backside of Cerro Gordo. We are assuming there will be snow on the easier alternate route from Teakettle Junction up Hunter Mtn. This also means there will be snow on the harder alternate route up Mazourka Wyman Silver Canyons.

CABDR Affected by Govt Shutdown

Due to the Government temporary shutdown the CABDR maybe affected. The route travels through the Mojave National Preserve and Death Valley National Park.
