“We continue to recommend you recreate locally,” said Forest Supervisor Chris Carlton. “All visitors should practice self-sufficiency during visits to national forests. Recreating responsibly will help ensure access to recreational facilities, services and opportunities continues.”

Responsible recreation practices include:

• Maintain at least six feet distancing from others.
• Do not gather in groups and please follow the latest guidance from officials.
• Alert other trail users of your presence and step aside to let others pass.
• Pack out your trash and leave with everything brought in. · Services may not be available, please plan accordingly.
