Last week and this week I took Wildrose Road to get to the trailheads for Wildrose and Telescope, respectively. The road is still signed as closed, but it's actually in pretty good shape. The slight obstacles are clearly marked with cones and markers and the road does narrow down to a single lane below the park boundary gate, but there are no real hazards and so it's hard to see why the road is closed. As for above the gate, the road is in better shape than normal. I talked to a ranger at Mahogany Flat and he said that he could not condone using the road and that anyone caught by law enforcement operating a motorized vehicle on the closed section of road was likely to be issued a citation.
