Big Munger trail update!
Last week the new layout of the Big Munger trail was connected. Four new reroutes on the southern leg of the trail removed the eroded sections that went straight up the hillside. Chris Owen (FOP) and Tim Farris (USFS) laid out a reroute of the trail with the sustainable grade of the soils at Munger Mountain in mind. This means the new trail is much more accessible by mountain bikes, specifically e-mountain bikes, which are allowed on the Munger trails from July 1 to September 9. The project will continue to touch up and rehab the old eroded sections of trail this summer. We will move the the northern leg of the trail next year to make the loop to the top of Munger Mountain much more enjoyable by all. Head out that way this weekend and enjoy the new section of trail!

If you’ve been out enjoying the Sink or Swim trail in the past 2 weeks you probably noticed some changes. Our trail crew spent the better part of a week closing and rehabbing 38 shortcuts on the trail. That’s right, THIRTY-EIGHT!
While hikers and horses cause their fair share of trail issues, this appears to be caused by mountain bikes. If you happen to be the person who continues to remove the closures, please stop. If you know who it is, please ask them to stop. Trail work is funded by your donations and those funds could be committed to other trail building and maintenance projects.

A few reminders:
• If you want to improve your Strava time, improve your skill - don’t bring the trail down to your level.
• If it’s too hard and you can’t ride it, walk it - don’t ride around it. • Don’t build jumps and features on multi-use trails. The USFS only permits that type of development at resorts or on approved Teton Freedom Riders trails where they have a dedicated crew to maintain them.

I wanted to address some work we did on the Ferrins Rock. If you know the spot, the trail passes a rock rib with a large rock above and on a very steep sidehill. The Ferrins Rock while navigable by most, did force trails users to the outer edge of a half bench section of trail and our crews have had to fix that several times over the years. To make the trail more sustainable, several energetic members of our youth crew took turns breaking the rock and using the rubble to fill new cribbing we installed to help stabilize that part of the trail. Hopefully this will prevent us having to devote time to this in the future and allow us to focus on downed trees, drainage issues, bridges, and turnpikes to keep the trails passable for everyone each year.
