On this page, you will find the most recent trail conditions that are available to park staff. Recent wildfires throughout the parks have created tree hazards and other safety concerns for hiking in burned areas. You can help us by sending an email to report trail conditions. For more information please call the Wilderness Office at (559) 565-3766. For snowpack data, visit the California Department of Water Resources snow survey website. Trail Conditions by District Trail conditions will be updated as information is reported by park staff and backcountry users. During fall, winter, and spring seasons, and during periods when our wilderness ranger stations are not staffed, trail conditions reports are received less frequently. If conditions are not available, please speak with a park ranger or the Wilderness Permit Office for more information.
