Ya just gotta 'good old boy' with the Ranger.

Got turned around twice - by the Rangers - trying to get from Paradise to Ohanapecosh (?) two days ago, once after the road crews had all left for the day. Opens Friday, i missed an epic climb by 3 days. Same in Gifford Pinchot forest as 23 + 25 are closed but you can go higher, late in the day after crews knock-off. This is the best time of year, no cars on some mountain roads and magnificent mountain roads.
