Trail Conditions 11/12/2026
Winter is almost here, and that means freeze-thaw cycles have arrived. To avoid trail damage during this time, we ask that bikers stay off of the trails until the ground has completely frozen for the winter. The trails remain open to hikers, and it’s a great time to enjoy the quite trails and views of snowcapped peaks. Trail users should be prepared for rapidly changing weather conditions and should be aware that the huts are not currently open for shelter. It is hunting season, so trail users should wear blaze orange while using our trail system.
The huts reopen on December 26th, and now is the time to book your winter trip, as some weekends have already filled up!
Dogs are allowed April 15th–November 30th. Clean up after your pooch, please.
