The state Department of Natural Resources announced a short time ago that two trails on Tiger Mountain are closed to the public.
The Northwest Timber Trail/Connector Trail are closed for bridge re-construction and are scheduled to reopen Aug. 8. This trail closure affects equestrians, mountain bikers and hikers, according to a DNR news release. A detour route is posted at the site and can be accessed from the 4000 and 7000 roads.
The South Tiger Traverse Trail is not expected to reopen until Nov. 1, after the Peacock Timber sale. This trail closure affects equestrian users and hikers, the release said. The Tiger Mountain Trail will remain open during the harvest operations.
The National Park Service has launched a Web site to aid visitors with disabilities and special needs to find accessible trails, programs, activities and other features at national park units nationwide.
Click here to visit the “National Parks: Accessible to Everyone” site.
It is hoped that we can assist visitors and their families and friends in travel planning to the NPS site of their choice, said NPS spokesman Gerry Gaumer in a news release sent out a short time ago.
National park units are constantly working to provide accessible trails, campgrounds, museum exhibits, ranger programs and other visitor opportunities for visitors with disabilities, he said.
The Web site will remain a work in progress and staff will continue to add information as it becomes available.
Eight treaty Indian tribes on the Olympic Peninsula and Olympic National Park will sign tomorrow a Memorandum of Understanding designed to increase open dialogue and improve coordination and collaboration between the tribes and National Park Service, according to a news release from the park.

The ceremony is going to be held at the Quinault Beach Resort & Casino near Ocean Shores, starting at 10 a.m.
Among the projects that will have priority following the signing of the agreement are the Elwha River restoration and restoration of Quinault River sockeye runs.
