TRAIL CLOSURES REMAIN IN EFFECT
The White River Trail located south of HWY 20 in a burned cottonwood stand remains CLOSED while firefighters down trees and remove snags. This area remains dangerous for the public. The public is asked to drive slowly along any roads within the fire perimeter due to firefighting equipment conducting fire suppression repair in the area.
