Alert: On Google Maps, road NF-23 says it is closed in winter. This does not affect the road to Cispus. They are referring to the road 25 miles up into the mountains, and not the road NF-23 which is 8 miles in where you take a right toward Cispus (1200 ft elevation). We have confirmed that the path is clear and you can ignore the NF-23 road closed warning on Google Maps.
