Trail Report

After a wet weekend, first two days this week starting out dry before wet weather looks to return. Big wind yesterday bringing down some leaves which was good. Always nice to have the leaves off the trees before the snow flies for real. The leaves on the trees are definitely hanging on longer than usual after a warm September than a couple hard freezes on October simply freezing and wilting the leaves. Has been an interesting Fall so far for sure.

Bullhead lake trail and the bootleg extension along with sections of Roy’s Run and Skaters Waltz extension seeing final Fall grooming yesterday, completing the major Fall trail work. We will continue fine tuning the trails here and there until the snow flies and working on trail signs. Photos below from Bullhead and bootleg extension yesterday.
