At the end of the Smith Dorien Trail, we would usually leave the mountains by driving north up highway 40 back to highway 1 (about 40 miles away). However, this time we decided to venture into new territory by heading south instead. And we were just in time too. This photo was taken at about 1pm on 30-Nov, which, according to the sign I was parked next to, was about 11 hours before the road was due to be closed for six-and-a-half months. Apparently they do this to prevent disturbing the wildlife during the winter and not, as I had suspected, because they can’t be bothered to plough the snow off this bit (I say “bit”, but it’s about 40 miles to the next road junction after this point).
