We are missing the hard "overnight freeze" that typically makes winter trail use possible. Because the ground didn't firm up the clay- heavy soils are in a highly sensitive state. Most dirt trails, especially popular lower-elevation routes like Table Rock or those in Hulls Gulch, are likely saturated and prone to rutting.
Given the current moisture levels, your best strategy is to stick to designated All-Weather Trails. Routes like Mountain Cove trail or the Harrison Hollow area are specifically designed with gravel or sandier compositions to handle this kind of weather. Alternatively, the Boise River Greenbelt offers miles of paved, scenic paths that are completely safe from weather-related damage.
