The following roads were damaged over the winter and are closed until repairs are made: 11 Pines Rd (from Wentworth Springs road to Hell Hole) Ellis Rd Black Smith Flat Rd Salt Springs Rd Forebay Rd Slab Creek Rd Plum Creek Rd Granite Springs Rd Alder Creek Rd Bridal Veil picnic area Panther Creek Road Weber Mill Rd Pigeon Roost Rd Jaybird Springs Rd

To get to Hell Hole through Foresthill you would take...

Foresthill Rd to Mosquito Ridge Rd to FR-23 to Rubicon Rd

Rubicon Rd eventually splits into Ramsey Crossing Rd to the right (paved) and French Meadows Rd to the left (mostly gravel).

Ramsey Crossing Rd connects to 11 Pines Rd and then to Hell Hole Rd. (not sure if there are any washouts on that section of 11 Pines Rd)

The gravel portion of French Meadows Rd ends at pavement. Left takes you to French Meadows Reservoir. Right connects you to Hell Hole Rd.
