SHASTA-TRINITY NATIONAL FOREST, California — Restrictions are now in place for people who want to visit the Mount Shasta wilderness area of the Shasta-Trinity National Forest. According to the U.S. Forest Service, from now until November of 2026 forest order restrictions to protect the habitat, soil and natural resources of the Mount Shasta wilderness area will be enforced. After those two years are up, the Forest Service will look at the restrictions to decide if they will once again be renewed or expanded upon. According to Wilderness Program Manager Nick Meyer, the restrictions will be in place for the foreseeable future and have been in place for over two decades. Meyer says these restrictions are to help reduce the impacts of the 100,000 or more visitors they receive each year.
