  • Panther Basin and Panther Meadows Area and Use Restrictions

    Sep 3, 2026 – Sep 3, 2028 · Order 14-26-10

    There is a continuing need to protect natural resources in the Panther Basin and the Panther Meadows Areas, which are located on Mt. Shasta within the Mt. Shasta Ranger District of the Shasta-Trinity National Forest. This order is issued because of high-concentrated recreational use that caused extensive resource damage to sensitive meadows (trampling), water quality concerns (for example, bathing in streams), long-term dispersed camping, and public nudity. The Panther Basin area and the Panther Meadows area cannot withstand the recreation impacts without long-term consequences to the environment. Sensitive vegetation continues to be trampled and dispersed camping areas continue to expand in size causing soil compaction and other resource damage. Additionally, Panther Meadows is considered a sacred area by several local Native American groups that use the area for spiritual ceremonies, prayer, and healing.

    USDA Forest Service, Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Order 14-26-10

  • Upper Ski Bowl Parking Restriction Order

    Aug 29, 2026 – Aug 29, 2028 · Order 14-26-09

    There is a need to protect natural resources in the Panther Basin area, which is located on Mt. Shasta within the Mt. Shasta Ranger District. This Forest Order will restrict overnight parking at the Upper Ski Bowl parking lot due to a high concentration of recreational use which is causing extensive resource damage to nearby sensitive meadows (trampling) as well as water quality concerns. The Panther Meadows and Upper Ski Bowl area cannot withstand the recreational impacts without long-term consequences to the environment. Sensitive vegetation continues to be trampled, and dispersed camping areas are expanding in size causing soil compaction and other resource damage.

The closure is necessary to reduce risk to public safety within an area of massive white fir tree die off which has created many hazard trees along the trails. The Forest Service in conjunction with CalFire will be felling the hazard trees that pose a serious risk.

Specific concerns include: Concentrated and repeated sanitation use within and uphill of private water wells; campfires and wood gathering adjacent to private homes and subdivisions; expansion of de-vegetated sites that are repeatedly used; the introduction of noxious weeds and non-native plant materials; noise and visual impacts on popular developed recreation day-use sites and fee sites (campgrounds) that are next to the dispersed camping areas. The Forest Service has also received numerous complaints from residents who live adjacent to the National Forest and within the community including escaped campfires, vandalism, and threats to their personal safety from long-term dispersed campers and recreational users of the National Forest.
