Is this the one that was closed because of some endangered frog or something like that??

Saw this on the Wrightwood forum

Williamson Rock Temporary Closure Resolution

The Angeles National Forest is asking for Public comments on a proposal to resolve the existing temporary closure in the Williamson Rock vicinity.

Williamson Rock is located on National Forest System lands within the Santa Clara-Mojave Rivers Ranger District, in upper Little Rock Canyon, Los Angeles County, California. The proposed action involves portions of T. 3N, R. 9W, Section 7, and T. 3N, R. 10W, Sections 11, 12, 13, and 14, SBM. The proposed action would reopen the area to dispersed recreation while providing required protection for Federally-listed biological species. The Forest is soliciting public input for the issues to be addressed in the environmental analysis.

Comments must be received within 45 days from the publication date of this notice (09/12). This comment period provides interested parties, including those affected by the proposal, an opportunity to make their concerns known.

Comments may be mailed to Williamson Rock ID Team, ATTN: Darrell Vance, Angeles National Forest, 701 N. Santa Anita Ave, Arcadia, CA 91006, or electronically at dvance@fs.fed.us.


Here's the pdf of how they will manage the area under the proposal.
Pretty restrictive in my opinion; though less so than now.

Thanks for posting this! If I'm reading it right, the PCT would be re-opened (with some minor(?) re-routing) through the area. I'm all for that! Would open up some areas to hiking that I haven't seen, and it would keep the PCT'ers off the ACH (much safer I'd think).

And since I'm not a climber, I have no opinion (hard to believe?) on the net effect to climbing in the area. :)

Wait, what about the speckled fly? Once they reopen the place, the flies will be in danger!

Doesn't anyone care anymore?! GO GREEN!

Not gonna reopen. Station fire is an excuse to keep it closed as a last refuge. till 12-31-2010
