This is the latest Caldor Fire Emergency Closure issued by the Forest Service's Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit, effective through December 31, 2021. We were hoping that areas not impacted by the fire could remain open except when machines were working, but unfortunately that’s not feasible at this time due to safety concerns. This closure order limits our ability to have volunteer days to repair damaged trails this year although we will work with the forest service to identify where we can still be helpful. We remain optimistic that many of the areas outside the burn can be reopened prior to the December 31st date. We are meeting with LTBMU staff on Monday to try and get things reopened as quickly as possible.
🌲
We’re making plans to rebuild in 2022 and will need everyone’s help! In the meantime, our trail crew has been working on Tyrolian Trail and will continue to work elsewhere in Tahoe throughout the rest of the season – making Tahoe’s trails even better. Stay tuned for dig days outside the closure areas!

From our partners in the field at the Forest Service: We have a better sense of what burned at Corral. The jump line on lower corral, powerline, and the parking at the bottom did not burn, but everything above did. High severity burn at the top of corral, and some of Armstrong connector. Have not been able to get above that point, although the recently replaced bridge on Armstrong did survive. Dozer drove over the jump line so that will need some work. Photos 4 and 5 show the jump line.

We will continue to share photos to keep you informed. We’re all eager to get out and survey the damage in person, but that is not possible right now, the forests and burn area are closed to the general public. Please know we have daily communication with the Forest Service and other professionals on next steps to rebuild and heal.

PLEASE stay out of the forest. We just had a discouraging call with the Forest Service fire crews as it sounds like there have been a number of bikers getting up into the burn areas trying to check out trail conditions. They've had to pull firefighters off the line to try and help law enforcement find these folks. This is still an active fire and huge safety issues arise from the hazards of an active fire and dangerous conditions from falling trees and hazards.
🌲
Spread the word. We do not need additional delays in restoration of the trails and forest.

This bridge on Corral has lived a long life, dating back about 40 years as part of the original moto trail.

First pic is it's current condition. Second pic is from the last time it snowed in Tahoe on May 23rd of this year.
⛏️
The forests are still closed and we're learning more about next steps to rebuild once the #caldorfire is out and safety measures are in place.
We're overwhelmed by the outpouring of people that want to help over the coming years. Stay tuned, we're going to need you all.
📸 All burn photos have been sent to us by authorized fire fighters.

Thousands of heroes are in Tahoe right now. One of them is longtime TAMBA volunteer and Hotshot firefighter Todd. For the last week he has been giving us updates from the front lines, while helping lead fire crews with his local knowledge.
🎃
Some people might know him best as winning the costume contest at the 2018 Corral Night Ride, but that’s another story for another day…

Today was supposed to be our annual TAMBA Rose to Toads ride. Instead it pains us to share these current photos of Toads. First pic is recognizable, second not so much.

Thanks to Matt from Lake Valley Fire Protection District for the fire fighting and photos. Here's his summary:
"The lower section is all burnt a ways up past the stairs. Hard to tell exactly walking up but above that I imagine is fine. The fire crept over above Luther spires & is petering out."
🌲
Please remember the #caldorfire is still active and the forests are closed. We hope to be announcing volunteer opportunities as soon as we know what's possible from the Forest Service. Email "trails(at) tamba.org" to get on the list. 🙏
