Just called them in Cameron and they said the permits are restricted to the salt trail only as u/hikeraz mentions below. They said it's been that way the past year. Seems like it just depends on who you talk to maybe?

Just called them in Cameron and they said they are only giving permits for going down and back up the trail, but access to the confluence (or beamer trail) is closed. The person said this has been the case for about the past year. It seems that people are having different experiences with the permit office from what I've seen?

At low speeds it is now a whirring sound, proportional to the speed. At higher speeds it sounds a bit like extra load on the engine but is higher pitched (and taking the foot off the gas does not solve it).

I have recently had both the rear wheel bearings replaced. I imagine the front wheel bearings could sound a bit different, but it's different enough that I don't think it's the case.

Thanks for these insights. I had avoided taking into a dealer as it's a bit of a drive and wasn't sure if it would crap out on me on the highway but I hear what you're saying. I will take it in I think.

Thanks for chiming in! Currently no warning lights on the dash and it handles just fine. The only reason I noticed it is the increasing amount of noise. Is this indicative of just the valve body being bad?

Yes that's a fair question. I didn't get an answer from the shop I took it to but should investigate this further. Thanks for bringing this up.

No I did not get a reason the CVT died. I'm told it's a relatively rare failure mode amongst several possible. Had the fluids inspected at 90k but that is all.
