Trail Updates
The Molly Offutt Trail and Two Worlds Link (both located within the Pierson Valley Hiking Trail System) are closed due to pending repairs.
All trails other are open, but be cautious of muddy terrain and intermittent high water at Pierson’s Creek. Please stop by or call the Visitor Center for the most up-to-date information.
When coming across muddy conditions, remember to walk through, not around. It’s a little messier, but this keeps our trails safe from erosion and protects the nearby environment. And remember to bring your water bottle!
