I couldn't get NG Topo to import it either. Thanks for the alternate version.

At the rate that the Sheep fire is expanding, I fear that this map will soon be out of date. If you are planning any hikes in the ANF open area, do them soon.

Matt,

Thanks for converting this.

Now that I can see in detail the extent of the closure I feel a wee bit nauseated Confused

Some of my favorite mountain bike routes are closed even though they were not part of the burned area Mad

From the city of Sierra Madre (which controls the gates):

Bailey Canyon, Mt. Wilson Trail, Road to Chantry Open
Saturday, Oct. 3
The US Forest Service has opened the unburned area of the Angeles National Forest above the City of Sierra Madre; therefore Bailey Canyon, Mt. Wilson Trail and the road up to Chantry Flats are open to the public. In compliance with Order No. 01-09-08, Area Closure Angeles National Forest, all burn areas are strictly off limits and not to be entered. For details, please read Order No. 01-09-08. Public safety officials encourage the public to use care when entering in the wilderness areas which are now open.
