Ready, set, hike
The Forest Service reports today that it will be ending the temporary emergency closure that was put into effect for the Angeles National Forest on Oct. 23. The forest will be open again starting tomorrow (Thursday). The Angeles, along with the Los Padres, San Bernardino and Cleveland national forests closed down temporarily because of the wildfires.
Some parts of the Angeles National Forest that were damaged by the Buckweed and Ranch fires will remain closed until rehabilitation efforts are complete. This includes the Rower Flat area for off-road vehicles and Drinkwater Flat. The fire danger level in the Angeles remains extreme.
The Cleveland National Forest will re-open on Saturday.
