- Rainbow Falls Trail restorations are complete. Rainbow Falls Trail is now open unless temporary closures are in place by the park.
- As of May 2019, trail crews will begin a restoration project on the Trillium Gap Trail. The trail will be fully closed on Monday - Thursday evenings and will be open Friday-Sunday.
All other trails to LeConte are open unless there is a temporary closure in place by the national park service due to weather or other incidents.
The note about Porter's Creek trail needs to be removed. That area of trails never closed and Porters Creek Trail, Brushy Mountain Trail and the upper portion of Trillium Gap weren't affected in any way by the fires of 2016. However, Bullhead Trail that was once a top route to the LeConte Lodge is still closed from the wildfire damage, at this time - there is no public info on when or if it will be reopened.
