Great news! The Freeman Creek Trail in the giant sequoias has had a ton of work done and is open again. It was machine groomed by the USFS and brushed extensively. Enjoy! (Remember to watch for hikers!)

Other trails in the area:
Camp Nelson Trail was cleared last year and all the logs were cut out (a few small trees have since come down). The bummer is that its getting brushy with so many trees burned out - and hard to see the tread in places. You can still ride through the Giant Sequoia, and it is alive!
The Summit Trail still need maintenance, and have logs across the trail. Bear Creek Trail needs help, but has had some work done on the lower section near Coy Flat.
