Approximate - nearest available gauge. Use as general reference only.
As of May 25, 2024, you definitely want a high clearance vehicle to get down Ponderosa Way from Hwy 26 south of the Mokelumne. Default directions from Dreamflows/AW say you could alternatively come down from north of the river, but the road there was completely covered in grass, like no one had driven it for years, and appears to go through private land (Google says something like "restricted"). The bridge is broken/impassable to vehicles.
