Conditions
Remember, conditions can change rapidly, especially in backcountry areas. Always check weather reports before your trip, pack the ten essentials and be prepared for all kinds of weather. Bring plenty of water and pack out all trash. Review our safety tips.
Forest Roads Contact your local ranger office to inquire about a specific route. Wildlife gates are closed from October 1 until May 1. Forest roads are prone to flooding and washouts. Never attempt to cross road washouts as you could easily get trapped. Travel with your lights on, obey speed limits, and watch for pedestrians and other vehicles.
