Restrooms will be open at the far end of the trailhead. The new restrooms near the highway remain closed at this time.
Due to bear activity in the area, be sure to pack out all trash and do not leave food, food containers or other scented items in vehicles. Always close vehicle windows completely and lock vehicle doors.
