Several campgrounds have reopened in California after state officials lifted the regional coronavirus-related stay-at-home orders, and officials have urged visitors to check restrictions and conditions before traveling.
Los Padres National Forest officials said closure of the 2020 Dolan Fire burn scar in the Monterey Ranger District was revised to reopen many popular roads and trails while keeping the 124,924-acre fire perimeter closed to the public. The order went into effect in August, according to Andrew Madsen, public affairs officer for Los Padres National Forest.
