I’m heading down from Alpine via the 8. Does anyone know if Japatul Lyons valley road is open from that direction? Thanks

Thats the way

How are people getting in? I went both ways closed.

Hopefully someone can check on the way out, but Watch Duty says all evacuations are lifted as of an hour ago. https://app.watchduty.org/i/55366

Dfishin, When you say you went both ways, Do you mean both ways from the 94 side , Skyline and Lyons valley ? or did you go all the way around to the Hwy 8 side and try Japatul Valley ? I am Fishing tomorrow and trying to Decide my Route.

Go Japatul route to be safe.

Definitely more than two ways to Barrett.

Ohh my, are the roads still closed? Supposed to go out with my brother tomorrow after failing to get a boat ticket the previous months since opening

I believe the roads are all open now but hopefully someone who actually went in can chime.

Maybe have to take detours?

Ok, I'd like someone to confirm, but if I go here: https://emergencymap.sandiegocounty.gov/index.html

I see I'm thinking to go the way I usually do from the 94, unless someone confirms on the site that Lyon's Valley/Skyline Truck trail is still closed.

Right now if you go to that site and click on the Blue Square with circle it says roads closed to all but Residents. A little earlier on another site it said 100% contained but road still closed for emergency and 1st responder use only. Unless I wake up to a different story. I'll be making the much longer drive out 8 to Japatul Valley.

Hey guys, just got home from Barrett. Roads are fully open now.
