The forest closures will be lifted tonight at midnight. Please check out the Shasta-Trinity National Forest's website for any restrictions which remain in place. Smoke is not a factor as of now with the Dixie Fire nearly extinguished. Whew! The river clarity and temperatures should be perfect, now would be a good time to plan a trip to this great freestone river!
We will keep you in the loop when we hear about the closures ending.
