State Budget Cuts Affect Washington Hiking Areas
Washington State budget cuts have led to the closure of some state Department of Natural Resources campgrounds and trails. These cutbacks mean reduced restroom availability during non-peak times, and less trash collection and staffing at popular hiking spots. Affected areas include Mount Si, Middle Fork Snoqualmie Natural Resources Conservation Areas, Tiger Mountain State Forest, and Rattlesnake Mountain Scenic Area.
