Mount Baker wilderness open for business? How do I know if a site is closed or open?
National forests and grasslands are posting updated information on their web pages. Find your national forest and grassland by clicking on our Interactive Visitor Map (https://www.fs.fed.us/ivm/index.html)

What risks are associated with the activity you have chosen to do?

* Law enforcement, search and rescue, and hospitals have limited capacity due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
* If the site you have chosen is full, have some backup options in mind that will allow you to maintain @CDC social distancing guidelines.
* How will you help minimize pressure on smaller communities adjacent to the forest that have limited resources? Restaurants, rest stops, and trailhead bathrooms are likely to be closed. Do you have the food, water, and fuel you need for the day? Do you have the supplies you need to hygienically pack out your waste?
* We know the outdoors are calling, but the decisions you make can affect everyone. If there was ever a time to recognize our #interdependence, this is it.

The AQUASCAPHE Bronze uses a CuAL8 bronze, which is a resistant copper-aluminum alloy that develops a uniform and slow patina. The polished finishes of the case and the bezel ensure a stable aging depending on the wearer's habits, making each watch a unique model.
