[QUOTE="SacramentoMike, post: 1353487, member: 11508"] Those roads are definitely paved and the scenery is beautiful (120 marginally more so IMO). You'll get a chance to try them both out of Mariposa. They aren't the highest around, so both should definitely be open by June. Of course, in recent years, with our longstanding draught, they've both been closed off once or twice by fires, but this year, unlikely. In fact, right now, they're both closed due to rockslides thanks to all the torrential rain and mud--and deep snow--probably not a concern for June though. Just the usual stuff, like the federal government closing down. As to Craig's question about entry into the park in the middle of the night, the entry gates are open 24 hours a day. If no one is in the booth, you're supposed to pay when you leave the park, but in his case, since he'd be riding in and out in the night, wouldn't have to pay on that pass at all. Still, at some point, everybody will want to go inside the park to sightsee, and pay then. You'll get a receipt, which you have to show as you leave, to protect them from people sneaking in at 3 a.m., like Craig.
