Trails are open. A few low areas damp/wet and some soft spots after rain Monday morning otherwise very rideable and overall good early season conditions. We are clearing on more trail this week.
Watch for deadfall here and there. We have cleared out most of the inner segments and North Loup Gnar to the north and will continue to clear throughout the spring. We are in the process of putting out signs and course tape to mark the trails which will take a few weeks to complete, weather permitting.
We are working on a new trail map and should have completed by June 1st. Click here for link to old maps. The main trail head is near the resort with other trails accessible from the driveway, county road 110 and hiway 34 for the Bullhead Bootleg loop. We will also have the LagChilada challenge in place again for this season. Pink signs will be placed marking the course.
