Is the road up there open currently? 

Thanks,

Ross

No. However, you should phone the Jemez ranger district of the forest service and express your interest in the road being opened. (575) 829-3535

I called on Friday. The ranger I spoke to said the road wouldn't be open until April 15th. I'm hopeful that if climbers mount a concerted effort and keep calling the FS may respond by opening the road earlier, depending on snow conditions.

It doesn't help that it's snowing in the Jemez currently :-/ But seriously, this will burn off in less than a day of normal sunshine in March. Leaving the road closed until mid-April is pretty absurd.
