This is not a review of the forest, which is great, but of the rangers that keep it closed so much of the time. Months after a fire that didn't threaten most trails or threaten flooding for most of this area, most roads, trails, and parking areas were still marked closed. They were officially closed much longer than necessary, and when the official closures were rescinded, nobody took down the signs and barriers. Most everything is closed again for the winter now, except the wilderness roads where people go to get stuck in the snow (and rescued by the fire department, not the rangers).
