Oroville, Quincy Hwy

[mamasabre]

Has anyone ridden Hwy 162 to Quincy this Summer? Wondering about the road being closed due to snow.

I assume you are talking about WA.
I don't know where 162 is, but there will not be any snow in that area at all.
Hyw 20 is a great MC road, that you will be crossing. Good going either East or West.

Hwy 162 is out of Oroville, CA, it runs up to Quincy, CA. It's closed during the Winter and sometimes most of the Summer if there's alot of snow.

Kinda funny both states have the same towns near each other. I rode through Quincy CA last Sept on my way to AZ. Very nice area. Next time I may have to try 162.
Have a good ride!

I just went over Lassen on 89 3 weeks ago. Went through Quincy on the way to Truckee. I can only speculate that if Lassen was open so should 162 be, AS FAR AS SNOW GOES.
Looks like cal trans is working on it as they are on almost all the mountain roadways right now.
Road Conditions

The worst section for us was on 80 from Truckee to Yuba Pass. It was like a parking lot. Did the duck walk for miles! (3 weeks ago).

The only place we seen any snow remotely close the the road shoulder was at the very top of Lassen.

I checked online with Lassen and we will be riding and camping there soon. We like to ride 162 to Quincy then take the La Porte Rd back to Oroville. We rode Hwy 70 to Quincy last weekend and there's alot of road construction going on. Thanks to all for the response, guess it's a ride up 162 soon!

Hey, I'm riding up to Lassen on Saturday and camping there. Spending a couple of days heading up through Oregon and back down. Didn't even think there'd be snow this late consider how little we got this year.

Love that Quincy La Porte road, 162 I would think is open, my neighbors have a place up that way and go up almost every weekend, heck, just take the ride, if you have to come back that way it's ok, going to try to make that ride sometime this summer.......never been up past Buck's Lake.

You won't see any snow on 162 or Quincy La Porte road. Been on both and all is clear.
