Spring Wildflowers Are in Bloom
LEARN MOREMONDAY, MAY 6TH TRAIL CONDITION UPDATE:
With another quarter-inch of rain overnight, trails are muddy again today, and dry options are fewer even than they were yesterday afternoon. Consider all-weather trails, a very sandy route or the Boise Greenbelt for your exercise fix today, and give the rest of the system a chance to dry back out.
Much work has been done in the past month on maintenance of numerous trails by Ridge to Rivers trail crews and volunteers. This work can easily be negated by using trails when they are muddy.
Simply put, please don't do it.
Give the trails a chance to dry back out so that they are in good shape for all of us to enjoy - which should happen quickly once the skies clear and our temps begin to warm up in a few days.

HAWKINS RANGE RESERVE CLOSURE
Due to muddy conditions, access to Hawkins Range Reserve's two directional trails will be temporarily closed starting Friday, May 3 to protect the trail tread. While trail crew members worked to open the seasonally accessible reserve located off Bogus Basin Road on May 1, trail conditions are deteriorating and there are long stretches of mud along both Hawkins Loop and Harrow Trail. For this reason, the gate at the trailhead entrance will be locked ahead of the weekend. Once trail conditions improve and a re-opening date for Hawkins Range Reserve is determined, it will be posted on the Ridge to Rivers Facebook page and website. Thank you for staying out of closed areas and doing your part to protect the integrity of the trail tread.
