Cascade River Road conditions?

[DPS]

Does anybody have current conditions for the Cascade River Road?  I know it is gated at MP 19, but is it drivable that far? Thanks.

I drove to the Hidden Lake turn off no problem Monday.  Hit snow about 1900' and parked.  Should be driveable to Eldo?

Awesome, thanks!

@DPS If you go up there before this weekend I'd be very interested in hearing how far you can get.

As of Sunday snow starts at milepost 13. It's continuous and too deep for a forester for the next mile, then patchy discontinuous with long melted out sections til milepost 17.5. Then continuous the rest of the way to cascade pass trailhead.

Bump on this thread - anyone know if Cascade river road is open to Eldo yet?  Or beyond?  Thanks

 

NPS as of June was still closed at MP18.  https://www.nps.gov/noca/planyourvisit/road-conditions.htm

heard there was major road damage due to flooding during the heat wave.  creeks coming off of boston basin took out the road but that is upstream of eldo TH.

It was not open as of last weekend and I heard it's probably not going to open this summer. I took a mountain bike up the road (and a friend took a touring bike which managed okay) and honestly the road seems to be mostly repaired. There were a couple of rocky sections but nothing a sedan couldn't handle. I went as far as the Boston Basin trailhead. It was closed about 4.5 miles from Boston Basin btw.
