The opening is being credited to volunteers and U.S. Forest Service staff helping clear fallen trees. Other roads remain closed for the time being. 

Residents in the Cameron Peak Fire burn area are asked to watch out for falling trees, flood risks and heavy truck traffic. The Cameron Peak Fire was reported on Aug. 13, 2020. A total of 469 structures were impacted by the fire.
