I am in Alice and looking at travelling up the Cattlewater Pass to join the Plenty Highway west of Harts Range. Cattlewater pass starts at Claraville just north of
Arltunga Reserve.
Any advise on this track would be appreciated
Thank you

Hi Wayne, I seem to recall reading somewhere that CP was closed & access to the Plenty was available further west via Pinnacles Rd. This was several months back
& things may have changed. Some wise reader will no doubt know the current
situation..cheers....oldbaz.

Hi Wayne,
I traveled the Cattlewater Pass from the north to south on the 9th July 2012 and there were no signs at either end saying that it was closed.
There is one steep jumpup if heading north, but that has a bypass when the the water in the dam is low.
I also did the Pinnacle Rd and found the Cattlewater Pass more interesting.
Cheers
Peter

Looks like CWP is closed.
So I will go via the Pinnacle road instead
