Bummer. That road had just opened in 2023 after being closed for 17 years from flood damage. The repair was $29 million. Maybe that road is just not meant to be.

Did you attempt to go around? Beckler road up (NF-65) and over Jak's Pass, the way we had to go before the Galena road repair?

Didn't try going around but I saw online that the beckler road washed out shortly past the end of pavement. It looks passable in a lifted rig or jeep but most cars probably can't make it.
