Park Construction & Closures

Bristlecone Pine Trail

Hoyt Arboretum’s Bristlecone Pine Trail and trailhead parking lot are closed to park users for construction as part of the Bristlecone Pine Trail ADA Accessibility Improvements Project. Construction is expected to continue through summer 2027.

Trail improvements will focus on renovating the asphalt surface, removing root heaves and cracks that create barriers for people who use mobility devices, adjusting slopes to meet new ADA guidelines, adding places to rest along the trail, and widening the trail where allowable. Improvements to gathering areas and key overlooks will create more meaningful connections to nature while prioritizing the needs of people with varying abilities.
