During the summer the road is closed at Minaret Summit -- you have to park and take a shuttle if you want to go on to Reds Meadow or Devil's postpile. However if you arrive before 7am you can drive through. Current conditions are listed at: Minaret summit road conditions
True, but...
Not really relevant for a hike to San Joaquin Mtn as no shuttle bus is needed. Certainly important info for those peaks in the Ansel Adams Wilderness further west - but that belongs on another page...
