Road and Trail Conditions

Accessibility of the various roads and trails on the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest depends on the time of year and the weather. Some Forest road and trail conditions can be predicted, others cannot. Unpredictable events of nature can produce road hazards which may not be cleared upon your arrival.

Be flexible and enjoy the journey!

Road and Trail Alerts 

To ensure public safety and prevent resource damage, the Forest asks the public to respect road and trail closures and take an alternate route if they come upon a damaged or flooded road or trail. It is also important that forest users refrain from driving or hiking on soft, muddy roads or trails and choose more hardened designated routes until ground conditions change. Proper and responsible use of the Forest’s road and trail systems are important to ensure roads and trails remain in good condition for all visitors. Also, visit the Forest’s Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/HumboldtToiyabeNF/) or X (https://x.com/HumboldtToiyabe) pages for road and trail updates.
