INYO NATIONAL FOREST IS NOW OPEN WITH FIRE RESTRICTIONS

With the termination of the Regional Forest Closure order, we are pleased to announce that the Inyo will re-open with no closures in place. This means the forest will be open on Thursday, September 16.

As a reminder, Stage II fire restrictions are still in place on the Inyo That means no campfires, even in developed recreation sites. Visitors with a valid California Campfire permit may use a portable stove or lantern using gas, jellied petroleum, or pressurized liquid fuel. >>Read More on Inyo National Forest Regulations

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO

If you have hotel reservations, please take the time to check on Covid regulations, highway conditions, smoke forecast, closures, business hours and safety guidelines. Feel free to give us a call if we can help in your planning process.

Yosemite National Park is NOT affected by the closure of California national forests. Yosemite is open; day use reservations required.

Best practices include:

• Heed local information regarding trails and campgrounds, especially fire restrictions and closures.

• Be proactive in your thinking about preventing fire starts. Smoking, parking in grass, flammable material, and other activities could cause fire ignition under dry conditions.

• Covid-19 remains a concern. Maintain at least six feet distance from others.

• Do not gather in groups and please follow the latest guidance from officials.

• Communicate with others as you pass. Alert trail users of your presence and step aside to let others pass.

• Pack out your trash and leave with everything you bring in and use.

• All services may not be available, so please plan accordingly.
