The Eaton, Palisades, and Sunset fires have closed trails across the San Gabriel and Santa Monica mountains. This update covers current closures in the Angeles National Forest, which trails are affected, and how to track fire conditions using Watch Duty, CalTopo, and live cams. I also share resources for evacuation support, local updates from the Pasadena subreddit and LA Mountains Facebook page, and what to expect for reopenings. If you hike Southern California, bookmark these tools and check closures before heading out.
