Current Trail News in Yosemite:

  • The Four Mile Trail, Mist Trail (along Vernal Fall), and John Muir Trail (between Vernal Fall and Nevada Fall) are closed due to snow and ice. The winter route should be used to access Vernal and Nevada Falls. These closures are anticipated to be in effect until the spring.
  • The following trails are closed due to the Meadow Fire: John Muir Trail between the Clouds Rest Junction and Sunrise High Sierra Camp, and other trails in the Sunrise Creek area. Additionally, the trails to Clouds Rest and along the Merced River east of Little Yosemite Valley are open only to day use (no camping).View a map showing all the closures.
  • The trail to Rancheria Falls is open to foot traffic (but not stock) beyond Wapama Fall (due to a rockfall).
  • The Half Dome cables are down for the season. (A permit is required to hike to the top of Half Dome when the cables are up.)

Current Trail News Lassen Volcanic National Park:

  • Kings Creek Falls Trail – Snow-covered. Cascades section closed until repairs made, use alternative (horse) route.
  • Dream Lake basin – Basin is closed, visitors are encouraged to view the area along the former lake shore.
  • Hydrothermal Area Danger
    For your safety, stay on established trails and boardwalks. Ground in hydrothermal areas can look solid but may actually be a thin crust hiding pools of acidic boiling water or mud. Traveling off-trail in these areas may result in severe injury. Read more about exploring the park hydrothermal areas.

Current Trail News Sequoia  & Kings Canyon National Park

  • Varied Snow and trail reports. From no snow to 24″ seems to be the norm in the reports park trails.

If you followed the news this last week of the climbers in Yosemite, your know the parks are just amazing in the winter also. Exciting events and scenes can be scene all year round. So take a holiday break Monday if you can and visit one of your favorite National parks in the Sierra.
