You might want to rethink your travel plans if you’re taking the over-the-river-and-through-the-wood route to grandma’s house for Christmas this year, as State Route 254 (Avenue of the Giants) is closed due to an active landslide near Weott. There is no estimated time for reopening, according to Caltrans District 1.

Avenue of the Giants is also closed a little further north, near Pepperwood, due to flooding. The road is closed between Holmes Flat and Barkdull roads. 

Be sure to check Caltrans’ Quickmap before heading out on your holiday travels. Merry Christmas, Humboldt!
