Sonora, CA — Stanislaus National Forest is extending its seasonal road closures through the end of the month.

Due to a late snow year and lingering damage to forest roads, acting Forest Supervisor Beth Martinez has issued a forest order continuing the seasonal road closures for affected roads in the Mi-Wok/Summit and Calaveras Ranger Districts through June 30.

“After another winter of heavy snow, especially later in the season, we want to ensure that our roads are in the best possible condition before they see the heavy traffic of summer recreation,” said Martinez.
