CLOSED - Silver Falls Overlook Trail 1134A - CLOSED

This trail is closed due to access issues.

This trail is located in the
Biscuit Fire area that burned in the year 2002

Although Forest Service trail crews have been repairing and maintaining many of the affected trails since the Biscuit Fire, visitors should take into consideration (because of the substantially increased risk of fire-killed snags falling) that travel and camping may be more difficult and require greater concern for safety.
