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.
