The road is paved. Most likely will be closed by snow Memorial Day. It’s about a 50/50 deal. If the weather is warm prior to Memorial Day – probably open. Otherwise not.

Hi. I plan on traveling through Hells Canyon around Memorial day, is the road from Hells Canyon to Joseph paved? The maps aren’t clear on that, should they be open or still snow up there. I would appreciate any info it looks like a great area to visit.

Did this ride in 06 and it’s a great ride. Had some trouble finding an open gas station in the Halfway area. Imnaha was a good side trip also. The section through the HCRA is about as twisty as roads get….if you go clockwise on the route you will be coming down here and it demands close attention.
