Sequoia National Park to Reopen Roads, Trails, and Campground on Sept. 21 Following Coffee Pot Fire Containment

On Saturday, Sept. 21, 2024, at 10 a.m., all road closures in Sequoia National Park due to the Coffee Pot Fire will be lifted, allowing public access. Mineral King Road and its recreation areas, as well as the section of South Fork Road within Sequoia National Park, will reopen. Most trails accessed from these roads will also be available, except for the Lady Bug Trail, which will remain closed due to burned areas that remain hazardous and susceptible to invasive plant activity. Atwell Mill Campground will also reopen.
