Sure their is a detour, but its a longggggg ways around.
Actually it is not. Just not a paved highway; a forestry road which can be taken from the Dunster turn off to Tete Jaune. Not much longer in distance than the highway, but a bit slower depending on the vehicle. More or less follows the railway tracks.
gus, did you take a drive out to make sure that route is not washed out as well?
My detour is open and has lots of options :-)
