Bootleg sections closed

Please do not ride closed sections.

If you have ridden El P since this Saturday you'll notice some changes in the form of blockages to some of the "lower trails". These trails appeared overnight more than several years ago. They are being closed off because they are not authorized trails and could result in lawsuits against the forest service and lead to costly litigation and closure of this great trail system.

Please stay on the main trail.

If the blockages are removed and you run into an option, the following advice should help you stay on the original authorized trail.

When in doubt, go up. The trails that climb either side of the canyon are the original trail that should be followed.

On tight switch backs, take the switchbacks. The straight lines past the switchbacks are bootleg sections that are part of the problem we are trying to manage. Do not cut the switchbacks.

If you have any questions about these closures or would like to find out how you can get involved with future trail work, please contact Howard Okomoto (ANF Volunteer Coordinator) at hokamoto@fs.fed.us or the Angeles National forest Service at 626) 574-5200.

Enjoy your ride!
