Off topic/shot in the dark/road info?

Going to Death Valley for a few days of R&R next week. Anyone know the road conditions going in through Wild Rose Canyon north of Trona, CA? Both the CHP & San Bernardeno Sheriffs department dispatchers took my phone number and said they would check but I never received a call back.
Thanx
Dan

I have this as a bookmark and check it before I travel through the sierras or even to Las Vegas.

You can also click on 'current conditions' for interactive road maps.

I spent a spring break week camping in Death Valley many years ago. It's a fantastic place. Enjoy!

If I recall correctly, the road from Ridgecrest through Trona is SR178. When I click that I get:
SR 178
[SOUTH CENTRAL CALIFORNIA]
NO TRAFFIC RESTRICTIONS ARE REPORTED FOR THIS AREA.

[EASTERN SIERRA NEVADA]
NO TRAFFIC RESTRICTIONS ARE REPORTED FOR THIS AREA.
. Looks good.

Thanx guys!

I knew about the Cal Trans site, but the AAA map I have does not show a Hwy # for the Wild Rose Canyon cutoff. Just checked MapQuest and it shows it as 178.
Thanx again.

p.s. Camping days with the wife are behind me. Now it is the Furnace Creek Inn.
