Trail Conditions for 5-24-19
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 dry spells this weekend but I would recommend staying low and avoiding shady north facing trails. The crew this week cleared Ferrins and Wilson Canyon and they are both dry up to the meadows. Wilson Canyon has more water damage to the trail as the old cow retaining pond at the top has failed and water is running down the canyon for about a mile until it disappears underground. The crew also cleared the lower parts of History, Crater, and Black Canyon on the pass. There is still a lot of snow lingering in the trees there, but Jim Verdone was able to plow Old Pass Road so that is a good dry option. If you see Jim give him a big thank you for all the work he is doing to keep the Old Pass Road in usable shape. Have a fun weekend and hopefully we will get a little sunshine.
