The Rancho del Oso Nature and History Center recently reopened, but the rest of the park has been closed to the public since the fire burned more than 97% of the park and destroyed nearly all of the buildings, campgrounds, restrooms, trail networks, roads, bridges and other sites, according to State Parks. The agency said some parts of Big Basin are still actively on fire.
