I second the warning for motorcyclists. I have ridden it and it is exactly as you describe. This was on a Sunday evening after a weekend of traffic, too. That dirt and sand is very slippery on two wheels. You have to slow it way down and keep it upright on many corners you'd otherwise normally lean into. Some of those that come through thinking and riding like they do on Angeles Crest should heed warning. The winds always bring more rocks down and create little dirt devils you can't see through, too. Slow down and enjoy the ride.

Thank you for the detailed report on 38 Apple!!! VERY helpful!
bullet Applenut on Saturday 11 April 2026 - 10:44:34
The good news is it appears hwy 38 is now open all the time. The caveat to this is there's 30 min. flagging operations Mon-Fri 8-5. We got caught in one by South Fork yesterday that lasted about that long. Understandable, as they're doing massive, massive grading operations on the hillsides with dozens of heavy bulldozers, excavators, mine dump trucks, and a train of 20 or so dirt hauling trucks. Sand and gravel all over the roads, not recommended for motorcycles. You're a fool if you drive fast through there, big forklifts with their tines right at windshield level pulling out, rocks and logs rolling across the road, and you'll pass someone just to get stuck at a flag. Beautiful drive and the grading and engineering is fascinating, but hope you're not in a hurry. Work stops evenings and weekends, but don't expect the road to be pristine, still watch for rocks and sand.
