Pacific Crest Trail Fully Open in Crater Lake National Park

The Pacific Crest Trail is now fully open in Crater Lake National Park.

Due to hazardous conditions caused by the Middle Fork Fire, the following trails are closed until further notice:

• Bald Crater Loop Trail
• Bert Creek Trail
• Boundary Springs Trail

Staff from Crater Lake Visitor and Resource Protection and Fire Management will continue to monitor conditions as the season progresses. These closures are in place to protect public safety from wildland fire risks.

All other trails in the park remain open, and any previous closure orders have been lifted. The Pacific Crest Trail is now fully accessible within the park.

This closure is issued under the authority of Title 36, Code of Federal Regulations 1.5(a)(1), 1.5(b), and 1.5(f). For questions or more information, please contact Public Information Officer Marsha McCabe at 541-594-3091
