Important Update for Inyo National Forest - Wilderness Permits

  • Inyo National Forest as well as many other National Forests in California are closed (effective 9/7/20) due to the threat of unprecedented and dangerous fire conditions with a combination of extreme heat, significant wind events, dry conditions, and firefighting resources that are stretched to the limit.
  • This closure includes wilderness permits. Wilderness permits for 9/7/20 through 9/14/20 have been cancelled. This may be extended if needed. Permits canceled due to this closure will be refunded automatically through the recreation.gov website.
  • Look for updates on our Inyo National Forest website at https://www.fs.usda.gov/main/inyo/home and facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/inyonf/


Our Inyo NF reservation is later this month.
