STORM DAMAGE UPDATE

The southern Los Padres got quite a bit of rain over the past week, with many gauges showing around 10 inches and some standout spots in the Ojai backcountry reaching 17 inches. Here are the updates we’ve heard regarding road closures:

-HIGHWAY 33 - CLOSED at Wheeler Gorge Visitor Center
-LOCKWOOD VALLEY RD - CLOSED from Chico Larson Rd to Hwy 33
-HAPPY CANYON ROAD - CLOSED at the first gate
-FIGUEROA MTN ROAD - CLOSED at the first gate

There’s lots of water flowing right now, with more weather on the way this week. We’re hoping these roads open up quickly, but it’s a good idea to have some alternate plans if you’re heading to these parts of the forest soon!

Reach out to [email protected] if you need help pivoting for an upcoming trip! And check in with your local Ranger Districts for details and timelines for the closures once they’re available.

Scouting builds young people with all kinds of exceptional skills. And often, those skills spill over into major achievements outside Scouting. That's where SL Headliners come into play.
