Park Update

Due to the recent rains much of the park is too wet to enjoy. As well, there have been road and path washouts throughout the park. Repairs will be needed and could take awhile. Trail #6 is still closed until the valley staircase can be replaced - most likely this summer.

 

"In the wilderness is salvation of the world."
