Although Cougar Hot Springs looks untouched by the Terwilliger Fire, there's still plenty of hazards in the surrounding area, which is why no visitors are currently allowed.
The Terwilliger Fire at Cougar Reservoir is 80 percent contained and has burned more than 11,000 acres.
Crews have closed off parts of Forest Service Road 19 and other trails like the popular Terwilliger Cougar Hot Springs. They said it's not safe for visitors.
"We're Road 19 and the hot springs by next summer.making sure that we're getting all the hazard trees off the road. We're trying to get the trail system ready for the winter system, so it doesn't erode after time,” said Victor Pelayo, the Incident Commander of the Terwilliger Fire.0 of the Forest Service.
