Park Road Construction

I know a lot of people are concerned with the park not being open for the past 3 months as they deal with the flooding and road construction. For those who are climbing with a guide service, there is no need to worry. We will be shuttled up to Paradise no matter what. The park expects the road to re-open sometime in April/May. So everyone can enjoy the park. If you have any further questions feel free to contact Whittaker Mountaineering.
