The Sequoia National Forest covers over 1.1 million acres in three counties of Southern California and offers an abundance of recreation opportunities for people to enjoy. The Forest offers 52 developed campgrounds, hiking on more than 1,147 miles of trails including 47 miles of the PCT, over 314,448 acres of wilderness, 222 miles of Wild and Scenic Rivers, 2,617 rivers and streams, world-class whitewater rapids, 158 ponds and lakes, boating, fishing, biking, horseback riding and more.
Seasonal Road Closures
Forest officials have implemented seasonal road closures across the Sequoia National Forest due to recent and forecasted winter weather. Due to heavy snow or rain, prohibiting motorized wheeled vehicles on these roads is necessary for public safety because of the possibility that motorized wheeled vehicles could become stuck and require search and rescue efforts. Forest visitors and emergency responders are put at unnecessary risk without the road closures. We will monitor road conditions and reopen them as soon as weather permits.
Sequoia National Forest officials announce the new Piute Mountains Travel Management webpage for public use. The Piute Mountains unit is a popular destination for off-road vehicle enthusiasts, hikers, and hunters. The area comprises a set of world-class OHV trails, a unique matrix of historically and culturally sensitive sites, a segment of the Pacific Crest Trail, and several rare and sensitive ecosystems.
Windy Fire - Area, Roads, and Trails Closure Order
Areas south of California Hot Springs, Pine Flat and Sugarloaf; and areas east of Lloyd Meadow Road are now open for public use. The Trail of 100 Giants remains closed, Forest officials anticipate it will reopen this summer. Please view the forest order and map for full details and additional areas available to the public.
Forest Order 0513-21-41 in effect through June 15, 2022.
