For those who missed it the (only the Idyllwild State Park) is now back open after the devastating fire and anyone wanting to help out inside the park can, see below. (The upper State Park remains closed until the ranger in charge says other wise). I heard back from the trail clean up organizer and it's a wait and see for the Desert View Trail clean up.

See link to calendar here look under Aug 3rd
Click on that link to sign up, I've sent a message to Phoebe Oelheim at phoebe@calparks.org to see if that date is still a go with all the confusion about what's closed and what is open as she's in charge of that date/crew organization.

Might be a chance to see the damage up close without getting reprimanded for doing so. They are working from 8:30 AM to 1 PM and children 10+ are welcome.
