Fire Impact.

The Lionshead and Beachie Creek fires in September 2020 and the Bruler fire in 2021 closed many trails in the area of the proposed Douglas-Fir National Monument. Many of the trails and closed roads have reopened, some are still closed. Conditions are subject to change, and the listings here may not be complete and may not reflect the conditions when you are planning a trip. Be sure to check the Willamette National Forest Alerts and Notices page.
Be careful, be sure to check for updated information on the general and any specific Willamette National forest web sites. The Friends will continue to monitor and update as they can, but the final responsibility for checking falls on you, the user.


Trail Ethics.

pack out sign graphic True friends of the wild are careful when they visit and respectful of the wild and of other visitors. The Forest Service has developed a list of Leave No Trace Principles that everyone should consider and take to heart. These principles cover not just wilderness visits, but all visits to the woods, trails and campgrounds.
