Are people allowed to walk the road to Nesika? At the intersection with the Larch Mountain trail last weekend, I saw signs that seemed to forbid travel to the east, but the wording referred to trails, not a road. I see on their web site that Trails Club members have been working on the lodge.
So I walked west on that road to the junction with the Devils Rest trail. Wow, that road is completely transformed. It used to be deeply shaded; now it's a mountain meadow covered in white flox and alive in other wildflowers.
And the green gate was hanging open. I'd never seen that before.
The road is open from the Larch Mt Road to the Larch Mt Trail. The Green gate has been open for a while even before the fire I think. The road is officially closed from the larch Mt Trail to Nesika but Trails Club members and volunteers are allowed access to work on the Lodge, grounds and general cleanup etc.
