So funny! How he did not see this is beyond me. Must have been looking back at the news crew wondering what they were doing.

If you are already in the area check this out.

There are many alternatives right there. Actually, other than the span of switchbacks right at Deals Gap I think Moonshiner28 is just as good. Better road surface all the way along.

It wont be closed all that long. Its already clear, they are just afraid more rock will fall because it's "unsteady".
Cherohala skyway is better for cars anyways. You can open them up and not worry about 10mph harleys.
