RITTER, RICHARD SILVA, TAMMY SULLIVAN, JOHN HITCHCOCK, RICHARD JENKINS, AND CLAUDE SINGLETON In 2000, the Bureau of Land Management, Klamath National Forest, and Northern California Resources Center began a collaborative project to study the Yreka Trail/Pitt River Road, one of the earliest trails to penetrate frontier California. The initial goal of our study was to cast light on the lives of emigrants, soldiers, and others who traversed the trail on their way to the goldfields of the Klamath Mountains, the agricultural settlements of the southern Cascades, and elsewhere. After nearly three years of work, we have learned that the trail’s complex archaeological record has much more to offer than insight on the trail’s earliest travelers.

This Regional Order does not close National Forest System trails. This Regional Order will be in effect from September 7, 2020, at 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time, through September 14, 2020. This order will protect natural resources and provide for the safety of forest visitors by preventing them from getting trapped on National Forest System lands during emergency circumstances. California is experiencing an unprecedented and dire fire season. There are 18 National Forests in California, totaling approximately 20 million acres. Currently, 13 of 18 National Forests in the Pacific Southwest Region in California have large fires. Nearly all fires are now large, “complex” fires (a series of fires in close proximity to one another that have burned into a single large unit). In a typical fire season, California will see some 300,000 acres burn. This year, more than 1.8 million acres have already burned statewide. Extreme weather conditions have made this situation significantly worse this year.
