Is there a website(s) that tell you whether a particular trail is open or not? Like after a rain.

Do they close many trails due to conditions down there? Up here in NorCal there are a few here and
there that get "officially" closed when too muddy but they are few and far between.

Unless the trail is in real danger of heavy erosion, it's mostly left to common sense. Mostly.

I call the park ranger at a specific park I want to ride and ask if they are open to bikes. State
and County Parks usually one day closed for every inch of rain.

I rode the Aliso Crest Trail today because it is always open, mostly a gravel road with a short
sweet single track with exceptional views of Laguna Beach and Aliso Canyon.

I don't like riding in the mud so after rains I ride fireroads like Silverado, Harding Truck Trails
or Maple Springs Rd.

Yeah, they close 'em. I thought all state or Fed trails were automatically closed immediately
following rain, usually between 24-72 hours??

Hmm. Could be. I've heard of that around here but only as a general rule of thumb/guideline. Not
often something that is enforced except for those "few and far between's" mentioned earlier. Maybe
it just hasn't become too much of an issue. Like Dean said, something like a day per inch of rain or
something.

But then, most of the local trails are regional and county parks. And maybe it's never been much of
an issue since most people around here tend to avoid the trails the day of or day after a heavy
rain. Hmmmm...

Anyway, have fun!
