South Fork Road - SEKI

Post by mmosher »

Anyone have any info on how far up South Fork Road you can park? The SEKI website only says "It is not possible to drive to the trailhead parking area at end of the road due to past landslides and flooding."

That's no longer true. You can park where the campground was. That was all repaired during the Coffeepot Fire. Currently, only Garfield is open. Hopefully we'll hear more about Ladybug reopening soon.

Thanks! I figured they would have fixed it during the coffeepot. It looks like the trails are open again, they just "aren't recommended" https://www.nps.gov/seki/planyourvisit/ ... kessum.htm

That looks like it hasn't been updated in awhile.

Ladybug still has a sign saying it is closed, and Garfield has not had such a sign in awhile.

It's incredible how out of date the SEKI website is on a frequent basis.
