In January 2025, the Eaton Fire swept through the canyon, stripped away stabilizing vegetation, leaving the soil exposed and hydrophobic. Just weeks later, a series of atmospheric river events came though the burn scar, triggering powerful debris flows, and landslides. These back-to-back disasters dramatically altered the terrain. What were once well-used trails and scenic overlooks are now highly unstable and dangerous areas to enter.
Trail designers, biologists, ecologists, and park planners will need to reassess the trail network from the ground up, considering new topography, unstable areas, fire-adapted vegetation, and future climate impacts. This will take time, resources, as well as community cooperation.
The ecosystem in Eaton Canyon is starting to recover, but this recovery remains fragile. While many native plants have moved beyond the seedling stage, others are only now emerging. By staying out during this recovery phase and committing ourselves to using only authorized trails when the canyon reopens, we give the landscape its best chance to heal and help ensure future access that is both safe and sustainable!
