From Craig Sap, Superintendent of Angeles District, California State Parks:

To allow for a complete and successful post-fire recovery there will be a District Superintendent’s Order requiring that visitors to the back country stay on the authorized system trails and fire roads.    Our hope is to gain compliance through signage and messaging and not have to resort to citations, ejections or closures of areas while the fire damaged backcountry recovers.

Although a park with this much damage would probably necessitate a longer period of closure to allow for restoration and recovery I believe this incredible recreational resource can be reopened if used in a responsible manner.
