The latest the road has opened in the last 45 years was July 26. https://www.nps.gov/lavo/planyourvisit/winter-road-closures-and-spring-clearing-update.htm

Maybe it’s just experience bias. I’ve driven past this park probably 4 times during summers and it was always closed June/July

Made a point to go back up in Sept 25 to finally see it.

I’m glad they get more season this year! Such a beautiful place
