Indian Portero / Sunrise Hwy Gate Closed

[Goofy Footer 78]

I noticed the gate along Sunrise Hwy at Indian Portero 14S02 is locked closed. This gate used to be open and connected Sunrise south to Indian Portero then Deer Park and Pine Creek Rd. I have not attempted  these trails from the bottom.

Does anybody have info or knowledge of this closure?

I think you’re talking about skyline? I first noticed it closed myself trying to ride the snow a couple winters ago during covid and I don’t think it re-opened since.. bummer cuz it’s a nice area.

Some maps label it Skyline and others call it Indian Portero. Great trail and very scenic area of the forest to have suddenly closed down.

I think it's been closed for quite a while. Here's the notice posted on the Deer Park gate.

As posted by Jlburgess in another thread, the Deer Park gate is now open. The gate at Sunrise Hwy is still closed, but does not present much of an obstacle for bikes.

Lets see if they open it June 23rd like the letter states

Cool. We'd like to use Deer Park on the next Mountain Dash.
