LAKES BASIN — The Sierra County Roads Department is expecting to have Gold Lake Highway ready to reopen to wheeled vehicles by Thursday, March 26. Timing is also dependent on coordination with Plumas County. Unusually warm conditions over the last week have led to significant snowmelt, and little to no precipitation is currently forecast through next week. Last year, the highway did not open until early May.
