trail closures

Hiking routes blocked

Trail closures are official restrictions preventing access to hiking paths, usually due to hazards, wildlife concerns, or maintenance.

Land managers close trails for fire danger, storm damage, erosion repair, or to protect nesting animals during sensitive seasons.

Check for trail closures before you head out.

The closures may be temporary or seasonal.
