Fire affected trails: WA, OR, CA
Posted: September 19th, 2020, 3:49 pm
Now that things have quietened down a little and the dampness will contain existing fires, at least for the time being, I made a list of trails affected by this year's end of summer explosion of blazes (mainly because I'll need to update entries in the Field Guide at some point). These are fire-affected trails only; plenty of other trails, including most trails around Mt. Hood, may have significant amounts of windfall over them that will severely inhibit access.
Edit: I'll update this list as I get information.
