The Pacific Crest Trail is now fully open within Crater Lake National Park.

A National Park Service release issued Friday said due to potentially hazardous conditions created by the Middle Fork Fire, these trails are closed to entry and use until further notice:

*Bald Crater Loop Trail

*Bert Creek Trail

*Boundary Springs Trail

Crater Lake Visitor and Resource Protection and Fire Management staff will be assessing ongoing conditions as the season progresses. The trail closures are being implemented to reduce threats to public safety associated with wildland fire hazards.

All other trails in the park are currently open and any previous trail or area closure orders are rescinded.
