interactive Trail Conditions Map
Last update: Nov 17, 2021
Oct.2021:
Many trails burnt by 2020 Dolan wildfire.
(Shown in interactive map burn overlay.)
Much burned hot and now un-attractively barren with fallen debris.
"Satellite" background shows current landscape with presence/absence of green.
Paucity of post-fire trail reports there makes Trail Conditions Map unreliable in spots, check trail reports for details.
