Hi CE,
When I click on the NPS link, their website returns this text:
“We’re sorry, an error has occurred. We should have this resolved shortly.”
We’ll see what develops. Perhaps that page has been taken down temporarily. In the meantime, try this link:

It is the parent link to the one that is not working currently.

On March 31 we entered Saline Valley via South Pass in a 2008 2WD Toyota RAV4. The road was pretty rough in spots but we had no issues other than a few scrapes. We left the Valley on April 2 via North Pass, which was much easier.
