California: Closed for the summer
With all the forest fires burning in California this summer, be sure to check conditions before you head out hiking into the wilderness. As of now, there are 96 active fires burning in the state, but that is down from over 1000 fires burning just about a month ago. And I suspect we’ll be having fires throughout the summer since it will continue to be hot with no rain.
There are currently many trail and road closures throughout the state, and this affects quite a few waterfalls in California. These are the closures in northern California that I currently know about. This list is subject to change at any time. As I become aware of any changes, I will post it in the comments to this blog entry. (and feel free to add any comments yourself that you know about).

This picture is beautiful. Is this location in California? If yes, could you tell me its location? I would love to visit the place in the picture. Thank you, Sue.
