We are excited to announce that we will be expanding summer operating hours in 2026 to include Mondays! Beginning on June 1st, the Visitor Center will be open Monday through Saturday, 9:00a.m. to 5:00p.m., through October.

This increase in summer hours was possible due to two temporary recreation employees brought on through a recent Forest Service hiring event.

We hope to see you this summer!
