Dan East Trail - Closed
"It may not look like this after the fire"
The wildfires raging in California and the West are
having a dramatic impact on natural resources, small businesses, private in-holders,
fire crews, and recreationists. In
addition, these fires are occurring right in the middle of the adventure-bike
and dual-sport riding season.
Many of these fires have resulted in the closure of very
popular inland transportation corridors used by adventure riders to explore the
backcountry in the Six Rivers National Forest.
Forest Highway One
For example, the Route Complex Fire is burning through
one of the only motorcycle-only OHV trail systems in the coastal mountain range
in NW California. The fire has resulted
in the closure of Forest Highway One (Route 1) and many of the associated “Pilot
Creek OHV” motorcycle, ATV, and 4WD roads/trails.
Route Complex Fire Footprint - 8.5.15
QWR urges the adventure/DS community to be sure and check
for fire closures before starting off on any ride that includes traveling up
the center of the Six Rivers NF between Mendocino County and the Oregon border.
Six Rivers NF Fire and Closure Update
While the impacts of the Route Complex and other fires
have yet to be fully assessed, QWR believes that riders and/or clubs should
ready themselves to help the agency with post-fire volunteer trail rehabilitation
efforts.
Post Mill Fire Volunteer Work Party
QWR knows from experience that keeping post-fire trails
open and maintained is a long-term project that will require dedication and a multi-year
commitment by agency leadership, recreation staff, and a volunteer workforce.
Once the fires are out in your favorite area, be sure and
contact the appropriate land agency and ask what you or your club can do to
help with post-fire volunteer efforts.
