Camped here June 4, 2006
There are still patches of snow
Near the summit was several feet deep.
WARNING: If you looked at
your road atlas
and plan to drive between Almanor and Stirling City,
forget it... The map shows paved roads, but these are
horrible dirt roads, only 4x4 vehicles could make it.
These roads have never been paved... one of many
errors we have found on American Map Road Atlas.
To be fair, there are more errors on the other major
Road Atlases
