North Tommy Trail Closure on the Entiat Ranger District
The Pomas Fire closure has been rescinded, effective October 24, 2025. However, the North Tommy Trail will remain closed due to damage done to the trail by fire suppression activities.
It is important for visitors to recently burned areas to stay alert to post-fire hazards:
- LOOK UP for upslope burned areas, snags, and exposed rocks that may fall.
- LOOK DOWN for debris from falling rocks, erosion – especially at road and trail edges, and ash pits (which may form from root pockets or stumps of burned trees).
- LOOK AROUND. Be situationally aware. Check the weather before you travel, including at higher elevations. Wind, rain, ice and snow can increase the risk of tree fall, rock fall, slides and other hazards. Flash floods and landslide risks are elevated below severely burned areas.
- LOOK BELOW the surface of standing water and moving water for floating logs, submerged trees and other debris, which can strike or entangle swimmers and boaters and damage other infrastructure.
