Winter is right around the corner! As we are seeing snow in the high country and continuing to get rain lower in our valley. Trails at higher elevations such as the Galena trails, Red Warrior, Alden, and Osberg are all still snow covered in shaded areas and likely muddy where the snow has melted during the warmer days. Mid elevation trails such as Fox Creek and Greenhorn trails will have variable conditions, expect extended sections of mud especially in the trees. These trails are likely best used only while they are still frozen, and are likely not suitable for riding, unless known to be frozen. Hailey and Bellevue trails are still a good option throughout the day, however as we receive more rain and snow keep an eye on quickly changing conditions. Any newer trail build will likely be muddier than established trails. Continue to keep a close eye on temps and conditions as we move towards winter and please only use trails when they are dry or frozen. Watch out for extended muddy sections, if you are leaving footprints or tire marks, the best practice is to turn back and find a better option. Pack extra layers, a headlamp for morning and afternoon adventures, and stay safe while you enjoy the trails!

Wildlife- With cooler temperatures and winter weather moving in, wildlife will be moving down into the valley meaning there is a higher potential for encountering wildlife on the trails. Stay aware of your surroundings and if you recreate with dogs, keep them close.

Sheep-

Sheep should mostly be out of the valley at this point, though there is always potential for a few herds to be coming through before the snow comes in. Stay aware of your surroundings and keep an eye on summertrailink.org for any updated sheep locations.

Reminders:

Galena Lodge is closed for the summer season and will open for the winter season on December 5^th.
