Long-term Closures due to Fire

A burned landscape presents a number of safety hazards that either did not exist prior to the fire or are increased by the effects of the fire. In some cases these hazardous conditions may continue for several years after a fire. Learn about post-fire safety and be very aware of your surroundings, follow warning signs, and pay particular attention to potential safety hazards such as unstable terrain, falling or rolling debris, displaced wildlife, burned stump holes and root chambers, hazard trees, and debris flows.

The following closures will remain in effect until further notice due to hazards from falling dead trees and other ground hazards resulting from wildfires.
