Since 1976, together with our staff, a three-person elected Board of Directors, partners, supporters and volunteers, we have brought affordable, accessible and quality recreation to Blaine County residents and visitors.

October 2, 2026

Happy October! Get out and enjoy the trails during this beautiful fall, because it won’t be too long before we are turning our thoughts to snow!

Though Galena Lodge is closed, the trails are open and in good shape. As part of the prep for the Forest Health Project in the SNRA, the Forest Service worked on roads throughout the Galena system and worked on the Harriman Trail. Work is reported to be completed for now, and trails should be quiet. But be aware there may be soft sections where there was work.

We still have a few sheep herds in the valley, but we are nearing the end of the grazing season. As always, watch for signs of sheep while you are on the trails.

Enjoy the trails!

Sheep

Trailing of the Sheep is October 8-12. This means our valley will be busy, and sheep will be on the Wood River Trail as they are moving between grazing allotments and events. Sunday and Monday sheep will be moving from Ketchum to Hailey via the WRT. Though we know sheep will be in the area, we do not know their exact timing and location. Please keep an eye out and enjoy the festivities!

Forest Service reports:

Warm Springs Band This band is in Rooks Creek they will move across Warm Springs Road and move into the Red Warrior area by the end of next week. (Trails 145, 152, 310)

Stage 1 Fire restrictions have been lifted: Lifting the restrictions means the public is free to build campfires, use a charcoal barbecue, or smoke outside of designated campgrounds and recreation sites.
However, fire managers would like to remind the public that wildfires can be prevented year-round by following a few simple tips:

Never leave a campfire unattended.
Always keep water, dirt, and a shovel near a fire.
Make sure your fire is dead out and cold to the touch before leaving it.
Never use fireworks, exploding targets, or tracer rounds on or near public land.

Quigley: The first ¼ mile of Quigley Road is closed July 8 - October 31. If you are recreating out Quigley Canyon, follow the detour signs.
