Tahoe National Forest has extended its seasonal road and trail closures through June 15. Closed routes are located generally above 5,000-feet with closures necessary due to overly wet conditions and existing snowpack. The closures aim to protect trails and roadbeds from additional resource damage, reduce maintenance costs and protect water quality.
Violation of the closure order is punishable by a fine of not more than $5,000 for an individual or $10,000 for an organization or imprisonment for not more than six months or both. Even on open routes, users who cause significant damage to roads may be cited and/or held liable to cover the cost of repairs. | fs.usda.gov
