Trail Conditions for 7-12-19
All the front country trails are good to go! After a slow start tot he summer the warm weather has melted back the snow and its a prime time to get out on your favorite trails. This week the crews finished a turnpike in Cache Creek, improved all the drainage ditches around the Crater bridges, fixed bench on the Ferrin’s trail, buffed out sections of the Ridge trail with Randy and Cam, and started on 2 bridges on the History trail that we will build with a volunteer group next week. The Cache to Game race is going on this Saturday morning if you’re looking for a fun run or hike to start your weekend. There will also be some closures on the Phillip’s Ridge trail starting next week as the USFS continues their fuels reductions project. Please heed the closures as crews will be chainsawing and dropping trees along the trail corridor. Read the information on the kiosks and they will be in different areas each day but will be done by 4pm each day and are not working Sundays.

Well we made it to the 4th of July with some patches of snow left on the Arrow, Black Canyon, and Lithium trails due to a pretty good snow year and a cool spring. Everything is passable out there with a little bit of walking over the few remaining drifts. Crews cleared the Ridge, Phillip’s […]

Chris P likes to say that the Teton Pass trails are always good to go by July 4th, and it looks like it’ll be right down to the wire this year. Snow drifts remain in shaded north facing areas and ridges and while passable provide some difficulty. The Cache Game area and Munger Mountain are […]

The longest day of the year should be the warmest right? With cool temps the trails are still in great shape and slowly melting out. Most of the south facing trails on Teton Pass are good to go but there are still drifts lingering in the north facing trees. The Teton Freedom Riders are having […]

Tree clearing, bridges, and helicopters what a fun week! The crew cleared Big Rocks and Black Canyon up to Bridge 3 before hitting snow and Cam Eddy and an unknown trail Samaritan cleared Phillip’s Canyon and the Ridge trail from Fish Creek up to the snow line. A few riders reported they were able to […]

Yay more rain! The trails have definitely reached their saturation point since yesterday and should be avoided until it dries out on Sunday. When it is like this I like to stay to the roads like Cache, Game, the BPA road, and even the Summit Road at Snow King. They have much more gravel and […]

Finally some sunshine! This week helped the Snow King trail system dry out and it is now 99% snow free with a few lingering wind drifts near the top of Ferrins and the north side of the Cache Game divide. The trail crews have cleared almost everything so it should be a good weekend to […]

Ahh the winter that keeps on giving, we are still about a month behind last year in the trails drying out around the valley. With the snow last night and rain in the forecast the upper elevations that were getting dry are pretty slimy and slick. There may be some opportunities to get out during […]

There are a few more dry trails but with 10 days of rain in the forecast be responsible when choosing to go out. The rule I like to follow is wait for the roads to dry in town before venturing out onto trails to avoid damaging them while its too muddy. That being said the […]
