*NOTICE*

Many trails and dispersed camping areas across the Alpine Ranger District have been affected by the Wallow Fire of June 2011. Most areas are currently open to public use and entry, HOWEVER - Many trails and dispersed areas may not be maintained for hazards associated with the fire. Please keep in mind that any area affected by the wildfire can be prone to hazards such as falling trees, flooding and burned out stump holes. The environment you are entering is highly susceptible to rainstorms and wind events. Any time you enter the forest, you should be aware of your environment and changing weather conditions. You are responsible for your own safety! Always look up, look down, and look all around.

The West Fork Campground on the Black River is closed to overnight camping at this time.
