Traveling on forest and other high elevation roads during the winter months is serious business. Roads may be impassable for cars without high clearance and four-wheel drive or chains. Most forest roads are not plowed, so many may be closed. Winter hazards such as wind, cold, snow, or whiteout conditions can turn an outing into a tragedy. Advance preparation can ensure a safe and enjoyable outing! Know before you go.
