The park will continue to maintain critical systems and infrastructure during the public closure. The park access road starting at the Nisqually Entrance remains closed to pedestrians, and vehicles should not block park gates or access roads at any time. Updated guidelines for acquiring backcountry and climbing permits will be announced on the park’s webpage – www.nps.gov/mora. The park will not conduct on-site public or educational programs, collect trash from public areas, or operate or provide public restrooms anywhere in the park. Access to the Carbon River area in the northwest corner of the park remains closed due to the washout of the Fairfax Forest Reserve Road.
