Park Construction & Closures

Trail Closures

Bristlecone Pine Trail (Fall 2026 – Summer 2027)

As of late October 2026, 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.

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.
