Trees, trees, big trees!  The crew did some more clearing on Arrow, Snotel, Ridge, Ski Lake, and Black Canyon this week and cleared a few dozen trees including some big firs and spruce.  We cleaned drainage on Big Rocks, Blacks, and Ski Lake and started laying out some of the project work in Black Canyon […]

Trail Conditions for 6-2-23

Message for the weekend!  The ground it pretty saturated and with more rain on the way it may be a better idea to walk, ride, or gallop on the pathways this weekend.  Footprints and hoofprints make the trail muddier for longer as each indentation holds small puddles of water, and tire tracks channel water down […]

Trail Conditions for 5-26-23

The trails in the Cache-Game area are almost totally snow free with just a few drifts lingering on the north side of the Cache-Game divide and the Ferrin’s saddle.  The 5 way meadows in upper Wilson Canyon are also pretty wet with spring runoff.  There are still some trees down in the burn area on […]

A few more trail options are dry for this weekend.  The lower trails on the Josie’s Ridge side are almost 100% snow free and should make for some good loop options.  Josie’s Ridge was snow free up to the old snag tree and Sink or Swim was clear until you get closer to the Snow […]

Trail Conditions 5-5-23

The trails are still pretty muddy and snow covered this week.  Your best bet is to head south of town on the trails between Adam’s Canyon and Game Creek and explore some up the canyons til you find mud or start postholing through the snow.  Crystal Lite and Crystal Butte are also good options with […]

Trail Conditions for 6-24-22

Another busy week on the trails.  We hired a crew from the Montana Conservation Corp who are helping to get Teton Pass open.  We cleared down Black Canyon and History Trail and will be hitting Ski Lake and Phillip’s Pass this weekend.  Black Canyon had just a little bit of snow left near the summit […]
