How about you fix the trails down 125 for starters? It’s been down for months in the peak summer season. It’s also putting people in danger sending all the trucks, campers, rentals and normal off road traffic down the single trail at the idle Glenn entrance. Our kids almost got hit by the heavy traffic.

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Lobby is closed but still doing business by phone or online. Provide ANRA passes and general information about USFS areas. Hopefully they will be able to reopen to the public soon.
