Shellburg Falls Trailhead CLOSED

[malexreed]

I went to the Shellburg Falls Trailhead (which is a location in the Portland Hikers Field Guide) on Saturday. It was CLOSED! No explanation was given at the trailhead.
The closure is documented at:
http://www.oregon.gov/ODF/northcascade/ ... ails.shtml

but no explanation is given there either. Grr, opaque government!

Anyway, if an editor could change the Shellburg Falls Trailhead and hikes pages (Shellburg Falls, August Mountain, and some other Falls) that would be great! Thanks for all your work, editors!

I Googled around a bit and found that it's closed for forestry operations "into the fall".

I added that to the three hikes in the field guide.

1/14/2011 - I called the forestry department today and their latest update on the Shellburg closure is that they hope to be open sometime in March.
