North Cascades alerts

Wildfire-related closures remain in effect; stay out of all closed trails, camps, and areas.

• Border 2 Fire: Willow Lake, Hozomeen Lake, Obelisk, and Desolation Lookout trails; Lightning Creek between Willow Lake Trail and Deerlick Camp; Boundary Bay boat-in camp and dock; Nightmare, Willow Lake, Hozomeen Lake, Desolation, and Deerlick camps; Winnebago Flats, Upper Loop, and Lower Loop campgrounds; the entire Hozomeen area (including docks, public areas, and camping); and the Hozomeen Cross-country Zone are closed. The Hozomeen U.S./Canada border is closed to foot traffic; enter through a designated port of entry.
• Luna Fire: Big Beaver Trail from Big Beaver Stock Camp to Stillwell Camp; Luna Camp; Beaver Pass, Beaver Pass Stock and Group camps; and 39 Mile and 39 Mile Stock camps are closed. Cross-country access from closed trails is prohibited.
• Sisi Fire: Agnes Gorge Trail; the Pacific Crest Trail (Agnes Creek Trail) from the NPS boundary to Stehekin Valley Road; and Company Creek Trail from the trailhead to the NPS boundary are closed. The Stehekin River above Sun Creek and Battalion Cross-country Zone are also closed.
• Long-term post-fire closures remain because wildfires left falling-dead-tree and other ground hazards: U.S. Cabin Stock, Graybeal, Graybeal Stock, Whatcom, Little Beaver boat-in, Perry Creek, Purple Point campground site 1, and Hooter camps; all of Stetattle Creek Trail; Little Beaver Trail from Little Beaver Camp to its junction with Big Beaver Trail; and cross-country access from closed trails. Burned landscapes may have unstable terrain, falling or rolling debris, displaced wildlife, burned stump holes and root chambers, hazard trees, and debris flows.
• Chelan County has issued a Level 1 Fire Advisory for areas in Stehekin and Stehekin Valley Road from Harlequin Bridge to High Bridge, including Company Creek Road and side roads, because a wildfire is in the area; park closures are in effect. Stehekin businesses remain open outside closure areas.

Check current fire closures and conditions before traveling or recreating.

Stehekin Valley Road is closed because landslides damaged it; additional precipitation and flood-related hazards persist.

• The closed section extends from Stehekin Landing to two miles above High Bridge, just before Car Wash Falls; crews are working to stabilize the situation.
• The Stehekin area is prone to flooding, which increases in the post-fire environment. Hikers and stock can reach areas above Car Wash Falls via the Old Wagon Trail (Pacific Crest Trail) and Upper Stehekin Valley Trail; bikes are not allowed above Car Wash Falls.

Check current road conditions before planning access.

Sibley Creek/Hidden Lake Road (USFS Road 1540) is closed because a large washout about two miles up the road blocks vehicle access to the Hidden Lake Trailhead.

• The road is unmaintained and unplowed in winter; snow, downed trees, slide debris, or further washouts may also make it impassable. The first steep section requires a high-clearance, four-wheel-drive vehicle.

Check current road conditions before planning access.
