Does anyone know the status of the Old Mt. Lemmon Road from Oracle to Mt. Lemmon? I was thinking about making a trip up but I know there are multiple gate passages from the turn off to the top. The FS website shows it is still closed.

Thanks for the info! Curious, how long ago did you hear that? Usually the road opens around March 15th, but with recent snow, I am assuming it has been delayed.Last I herd it was open to the Oracle Ridge mine and a locked gate (usual winter snow closure).
Man that is awesome! Thanks for the effort!And the guy in charge of opening those gates is TDY Albuquerque. Not sure the new guy knows the drill but I’ll try to check with him tomorrow.
I miss the "Good 'Ol Days" when it was open year round and people had common sense.
Thanks for the info!Well I can confirm the road is open all the way through. Did the route Monday, drove from the peak to Oracle. Zero road issues, and barely had any moisture on the road. Well graded, a bit rough with the rocky terrain (I do recommend airing down). Took about 2 hours from point to point. This is a link to my Gaia log.
