DON’T POACH THE WILDLIFE CLOSURE!
During this low snow stretch of winter it is great that some trails like Putt Putt are compact enough for people to use. An important reminder for people recreating with dogs that - due to wildlife closures there is a leash zone along the Putt Putt trail from the Nelson trailhead to the Wiggle trail junction. This may mean you need to take an alternate route if you have a pet or borrow one of the free leashes placed around the trailheads. It is difficult to bike while having your pet on a leash, especially on narrow trails. We encourage fat bikers with dogs to use the Cache and Hagen trails and bring leashes for their pets while in the trailhead area (this includes 200 feet around all trailheads).

Our crew groomed Cache, Hagen, Gauging Station, Sidewalk, and Hagen Highway last night. We’ll hit River and Ferrins in the next few days. Get out there and enjoy it!

Adams Canyon Connector Trail Update
Our Trails Manager was able to finish the connection of the Adams Canyon Connector trail on the Rafter J side this week. As of now the trail connects from the pathway on the west side of Hwy89 through the old cow tunnel to the top of Adams Canyon Road on the east side. In the spring we will host a volunteer dig day for the community to help us connect the Adams Canyon Road to the Wilson Canyon Trail.

Open

If the weather forecast proves correct, we won't be hitting the trails this weekend. But that means plenty of time to check out TCSAR’s 6th Annual WYSAW event! It's free and a great way to prepare for your winter backcountry adventures. The lineup includes industry-leading perspectives on decision making, risk management, and snow science plus adventuring in the Covid era.
