Trail Conditions for 5-25-18
The Cache Game trails are a go for the season! Things have melted out about 3 weeks ahead of last year and the crews cleared the Cache Game divide, West Game, and Wilson this week. I would say the trails are 99.9% good with a few seeps and water problems that we will address this summer. Munger is also in great shape after crews got a few more trees off of Tusky and Squaw. Teton Pass continues to melt out and the snow line is receding daily. All of the trails there make a good out and back starting from the bottom and exploring your way up to the snow line. Again if you see any trees down on trails or other problems let us know and we will get he crews out to fix them. Also a reminder that the Skyline trail remains closed until July 1 each year to protect elk calving in the area. I would say Cache to Game is the trail choice for the holiday weekend so get out and enjoy!
