San Juan National Forest implements two closure orders on Pagosa, Columbine ranger districts

For the safety of the public, the San Juan National Forest has implemented two closure orders on the Pagosa and Columbine Ranger Districts. These closures prohibit motorized traffic on all listed roads. Pedestrians, equestrians, and cyclists are allowed on these roads at your own risk. These roads have been identified as unpassable due to flood damage including landslides, washouts, and complete roadbed collapse.
