It is open for day use only and will reclose with winter snow. Many bridges are damaged, avalanches have ripped out hillsides of trees, snowmelt has washed out trails. Trails crews are working as fast as they can. Much snow still remains in the high country. Many projects going on that affect roads and trails.
Hikers can pick their way across, but the trail is in poor shape beyond.
The road may be walked by hikers, but it probably won't be repaired for auto travel this year. A climax avalanche in Bean Creek basin dumped debris on the trail from just beyond the Beverly Creek junction. The highway department has a demand-triggered stop light on each end to alternate directions of travel. Between now and August, Friday Harbor labs are releasing batches of drift cards in the San Juans to study surface currents. If you find one on shore, please pick it up and report it.
