Trail Conditions for 5-25-18
News & Announcements, Trail Updates, UncategorizedThe Cache Game trails are a go for the season! Things have melted out about 3 weeks ahead of last year and the crews cleared the Cache Game divide, West Game, and Wilson this week. I would say the trails are 99.9% good with a few seeps and water problems that we will address this summer. Munger is also in great shape after crews got a few more trees off of Tusky and Squaw. Teton Pass continues to melt out and the snow line is receding daily. All of the trails there make a good out and back starting from the bottom and exploring your way up to the snow line. Again if you see any trees down on trails or other problems let us know and we will get he crews out to fix them. Also a reminder that the Skyline trail remains closed until July 1 each year to protect elk calving in the area. I would say Cache to Game is the trail choice for the holiday weekend so get out and enjoy!
Trail Conditions for 5-18-18
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesTrails are continuing to dry out in the front country. The Munger Mountain Trails are in good shape with only a few wet spots from spring seeps. The Trail Crew did a pass on Poison Creek and Wally’s World and will hit Rock Creek, Squaw Creek, and Tusky Ridge next week. On the pass the snow line is receding and you can make a loop out of lower History and Crater or Big Rocks and Black Canyon. Lower Phillip’s Canyon and the Ridge trails are also clear from Fish Creek up to just below the Arrow trail junction and the switchback section respectively. Snow King trails are almost all dry with some snow and mud persisting on upper Cache and Game Creek, upper Wilson Canyon, and the saddle of Ferrins. The Cache Creek trails are tree free and the crew removed 54 trees and cleaned 314 drainage features on Poison, Wallys, History, Crater, Big Rocks, Blacks, Phillip’s Canyon, Ridge, Josies, Ferrins, Putt Putt, Wilson, West Game, and Game. There are still a few more lingering out there and if you notice a tree down or a drainage problem message us and we will get to it asap. Have a good weekend out there!
Trail Conditions for 5-11-18
News & Announcements, Trail Updates, UncategorizedThere are many more trails melting out and would be dry if only the rain would let up. The Putt Putt side of the Cache Creek drainage is drier than the Hagen side which is still holding a few snow patches and muddy spots. Crystal Butte and Josie’s Ridge are in great shape and the Nelson Knoll loop too if you are looking for the best views. You can connect across Sink or Swim with only a little snow remaining on the face of Snow King, and Game Creek continues to dry out making for a longer out and back option. Once again remember to stay off the trails when they are wet. A good rule of thumb is to wait for the streets in town to dry before heading out, and always look behind you, if you are leaving tracks of any kind on the trail it may be better to wait a bit. I’ll definitely be waiting for Sunday which looks to be the nicest weather window this weekend. See you out there!
Trail Conditions for 4-27-18
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesThe trails around Snow King are slowly starting to melt out with the recent warm weather. As usual the beginning of Putt Putt and the Sidewalk trail have dried out first along with the Nelson Knoll loop and lower Woods Canyon. The trails between the Winter Wildlife Closure and Snow King’s ski runs are also dry and make for a good loop accessed from Rodeo or Pine Dr. Game Creek is also a good option to explore until you hit snow or mud. Many of the shaded trails on the Hagen side can still be good if used early in the morning if it freezes overnight. Please use good judgment and don’t use the trails if you are leaving deep footprints, hoof prints, or tire ruts in the mud. Those damages to the trail surface continue to hold water from spring runoff and rain, and will remain muddy spots throughout the year. Remember the Winter Wildlife closures (in purple) are still in effect until Tuesday May 1st. After that the lower portions of Josie’s Ridge and Crystal Butte will be good options to explore. Have a great sunny weekend!
