That's a bummer - how does that affect McCain valley and Corral Canyon areas? Does it affect at all?

Corral Canyon is USFS, so that is closed.  McCain is not part of the forest system, and is run by the bureau of land management, so that is open.

State land and National Parks are not included in the closure. McCain is under Bureau of Land Management management, if I recall. Corral is National Forest Service, so I'd think it's a no-go zone. I rode down Sloane Canyon last weekend. A whole 4 miles of dirt road!

So McCain is open?  I really want to ride this weekend but not sure where.  I rode with someone in here I think at McCain but his bike had issues so we only rode for 30 min.  Other than that, I have never been there or Corral.  I am really itching to take my 300 out

Just rode there today.  It was crowded for a weekday...but then....where else are they going to go right now?

I think it was more like an hour, if you include the towing 😂
