Armstrong Woods has reopened for the first time since the Walbridge Fire in August of last year. Visitors were able to enter Armstrong Redwoods State Natural Reserve last Friday, including the Pioneer Nature Trail, the Armstrong Nature Trail and Discovery Trail. However, the East Ridge and Pool Ridge trails are closed because of wildfire damage and hazardous tree conditions. The Walbridge Fire burned 511 acres of the park, or about 60%, but mainly affected the hillsides and ridges. The park is open from 8 AM to one hour after official sunset and there is a $10 vehicle entrance fee.
