Tamarack Fire Forces Closure of Portion of Pacific Crest Trail

Markleevile, CA...The Tamarack Fire, burning in Alpine County in eastern California has led Forest officials on the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest to close a portion of the Pacific Crest Trail. The fire is burning northeast of the trail near Raymond Peak (around mile 1060) in the Pleasant Valley Creek area. The fire is 21,000 acres with 0% containment.





The Pacific Crest Trail is currently closed between California State Route 88 and California State Route 4 (Ebbetts Pass). For reroute details, please visit the Pacific Crest Trail website at: https://bit.ly/3wNPoYD. For Forest closure information, please visit: https://origin-fs.fs.usda.gov/detail/htnf/alerts-notices/....

Failure to comply with closure may result in criminal and/or civil penalties, including up to $5,000 in fines and/or six months in jail. In addition, anyone found responsible for starting a wildfire can be held civilly and criminally liable.

The Pacific Crest Trail spans 2,650 miles from Mexico to Canada and has attracted thousands of hikers. It is divided into five regions: Southern California, Central California, Northern California, Oregon, and Washington.

    How about criminal and civil penalties to the Forest Service employee that made the decision to NOT take action on this fire July 4th!! Maybe a little jail time for dereliction of duty and negligence would work!! Those Federal clowns just love to threaten everyone but their own!!

      Complain to Sloppy Joe's Administration as they are responsible for the National Forests.

          A complaint to the administration is a waste of time, seriously! This has to come from the bottom up. But thanks for the recommendation.

                Beautiful country up there! I can remember years ago when a few of us backpacked from the Highland Lakes trailhead to go to Noble Canyon. We hiked down to the headwaters of Moke river then up over Tryon Pass and down into Noble Canyon where we camped out for two nights. Hope this all gets contained soon. thank you USFS strike team and others for all your efforts, SRS.
