Travel on San Juan National Forest System Roads is strongly discouraged and not advised due to life-threatening hazards. Record flooding across Southwest Colorado has left San Juan National Forest roads, trails, and other infrastructure inaccessible, severely damaged and, in many cases, unpassable. Highways across multiple counties are closed, and evacuation and shelter-in-place orders have been issued for multiple communities. Don’t become a statistic—rescue will not be readily available due to the current demand for search and rescue services.
The following offices are closed at this time:
- Pagosa District Office (phones and internet also down)
- Durango Forest Headquarters
- Columbine District Office is closed Mon – Thurs, and is expected to be open for its regular office hours on Friday.
