Flash flooding caused washouts near McCoy Flats. County crews are repairing roads, and the road near the trailhead should be passable by noon today. Use caution, watch for hidden damage, and please avoid wet/muddy bike trails to prevent ruts and further damage.

The BLM is asking climbers to avoid climbing in Long Canyon from April 1 to June 15 to give bighorn sheep space for a critical time in their lives. Please leave this vital escape terrain for these incredible animals. Read more at https://t.co/2Ehr7y6lzy.

🔥 This was preventable.
A fire at Pelican Lake Campground started from an unattended campfire that escaped the fire ring and spread into vegetation. It burned ~1 acre before crews contained it. The fire remains under investigation.
If it’s not cold, it’s not out.
