INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. – Parts of the Mount Rose Trailhead, off Mt. Rose Highway (Nevada State Route 431) between Reno and Lake Tahoe, Nevada, will be closed at different times this summer to finish improvements to the Mount Rose Welcome Plaza and parking lot. The completion of this project has been long awaited and the public’s patience is much appreciated.
The Mount Rose Welcome Plaza is currently closed to allow the contractor, Ironwood Commercial Builders Inc. from Concord California, to place a coating on the concrete walkways in and around the plaza to preserve them. The contractor will also be finishing up the repair work on the plaza’s roof that was damaged by an avalanche in the winter of 2016-2017 sometime in September once the contractor’s proposal has been finalized.
“We apologize for having to close the Mount Rose Welcome Plaza’s restrooms again after just getting them reopened,” said Carson Ranger District Recreation Management Specialist Chris Eddy. “Portable toilets have been installed at the trailhead, while the restrooms are closed.”
