Four-wheel and all-wheel vehicles are recommended for current traversing of Forest Service Road 151 at this time.

A reminder that with the warmer weather, there is much more traffic on the road. It was recently graded although there is wash-boarding in some areas. Drive slowly and use caution rounding the curves. Please watch for hikers and other foot traffic on the road.

For those who travel on the road, please be aware that there may be traffic traveling in both directions on the road, so round curves with caution. Drive slowly and be courteous allowing faster traffic ahead of you. Simply pull to the side of the road and let them pass.

Safe and peaceful sojourns.
