CLOSURE

Mount Alava and Fatifati trails closed

The Mount Alava Trail and the Fatifati Trail from Fagasa Pass to the summit are closed until further notice for trail improvement work. - Visitors can reach the Alava Trail from the Old Vatia Trail, but that route is a much steeper and more rugged climb. - Suggested alternatives are the Upper and Lower Sauma Trails and the Tuafanua Trail. Check current park conditions before hiking.
