Hyalite Road Etiquette
Attention skiers, climbers, hikers, fishermen and women, Sunday drivers and all other family-oriented winter recreationalists,
Having the Hyalite Road plowed is a gift.
If we want this continued in the future, it is our responsibility to make Hyalite a safe and enjoyable place for all.
Please post your experiences and any reports you might have on the current state of the road conditions.
Thank you in advance.
SOME BASIC GUIDELINES that will help us all out in the long run.
* If someone else is stuck or otherwise in trouble, help your neighbor.
* Always carry a shovel or two in your vehicle when driving the Hyalite Road. It is not uncommon to get one or two tires stuck. A shovel solves this quickly and turns an all day epic into a few minutes of digging.
* AWD/4WD and or snow tires is recommended. Difficult winter driving conditions exist beyond the Reservoir so please do not attempt to drive beyond Blackmore without a shovel, the proper vehicle and driving skills.
* Below the Reservoir please drive slow (25 mph max) and be super careful going around the many blind corners. Some are solid ice.
* Stay on your side of the road.
* Above the Reservoir please drive even slower (20 mph max) and watch closely for oncoming traffic.
Slow down, if not stop, to allow cars passing opposite directions.
* Beyond Blackmore, no parking is allowed on the main road except at the Grotto Falls Parking Lot.
* Spread the word and ask, if not demand, your fellow traveler(s) to be responsible.
Thank you all for your continued efforts, love and support of Hyalite winter recreation.
