The Cache/Game trails are almost totally dry with the last bit of snow lingering on the Ferrins and Cache/Game saddles and on the ski runs.  Munger is also in great shape with only some snow on the upper ridge of the Big Munger trail.  Teton Pass trails are snow free up to about 7500 feet in elevation.  Crews this week cleared, Crater, lower History, Big Rocks, lower Blacks, lower Phillip’s Ridge, Josies, Kellys, Lindas, and Wilson Canyon.  We will be helping on some other projects next week and then back to the upper parts of Teton Pass as the snow melts back.  Trails of the week is the new Trail Creek Connector and OPR Loops, they make a fun lollypop loop from the bottom of Trail Creek road with lots of options in the 5 OPR Loops, and great views of the Sleeping Indian on the Trail Creek Connector.  Have fun out there and enjoy the sunshine!

What a weird year so far!  The trails are melting out much faster but are still muddy in spots when the rain and snow moves through.  A big thing to remember this early is that the Winter Wildlife Closures are still in effect for 2 more weeks until May 1.  When you are out exploring remember to stay out of the spots in purple on the map and keep your dogs leashed in the orange areas.  Good spots to check out when the sun is out are south of town on the S 89 singletrack and down into Game Creek.  Sidewalk and Putt Putt and lower areas around the base of Snow King are also a good bet.  Check out the new connector trail from the Trail Creek pathway up to the bottom of Black Canyon as well.  Munger Mountain is also mostly dry and a good early season option.  Don’t forget to enjoy the pathways and to get up into the park to use the inner road this month when it is only open to pedestrians.  As you get out and explore shoot us an update if you see any down trees or other problems with the Trail Maintenance Request button at the top of our page.  Have fun and be safe out there!
