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.
