Trail Report: Oct. 3, 2025

What a wonderful intro to fall! With the recent storms, most trails should be in all time shape, as our dry trails welcomed the much-needed rain. However, as we get more wet and cool weather, keep your head up for muddy areas and turn back if you do encounter extended muddy sections.

Stay safe and enjoy our trails!

Sheep-

Sheep are still in the valley, though the last of the herds will be moving out in October. Check summertrailink.org for current reported sheep locations. Keep in mind land managers do their best to provide accurate sheep locations, however, consider these locations and dates as a suggestion of where the sheep will be. Always stay aware of your surroundings.

Forest Service reports:

· Warm Springs This band will be grazing near Rooks Creek. They will move back towards Red Warrior. This band will be in this area until the 10^th. After the 10^th this band will move into the Deer Creek/ Panther Gulch area and could be in there until October 31.

· Galena Area One band will start grazing up Galena Summit from the Sawtooth Valley around October 9^th. They will trail up and over back into the Wood River Valley on the 10^th and 11^th. They will overnight in the Lake Creek area (possible to change due to fire closure) before trailing through Ketchum for the trailing of the sheep festival. From there they will trail out using the sheep driveway/bike path.
