Ridge to Rivers
Muddy Trail Info
LEARN MORETUESDAY, MARCH 21ST TRAIL CONDITION REPORT:
The second morning of spring has greeted us with a wintry start, as we have 1 - 2 inches of wet snow in the lower foothills and more up high. As such, your trail options are very limited this morning - Please stick to All-Weather Trails if you have to be in the Foothills.
There is a fair chance that sandier trails will dry adequately by later afternoon, as we have a forecast high of 51 degrees and sunny skies. We will do our best to update conditions as warranted.
The temptation will be great to push on in the sunshine this afternoon. Please don't continue if you encounter muddy conditions. Turn around and find a drier alternative.
