BIKE TRAIL CONDITIONS
Trails are in WICKED shape - kudos to the trail crew for their hard work repairing the water damage from last week's rains! With the hot, dry weather over the past few days, dust may be a factor so leave some space between you and the riders ahead of you. Ride with caution on man-made wood features as some may be slippery. And most of all HAVE FUN out there.

HIKING TRAIL CONDITIONS
All hiking trails are open but unmaintained at this time. Alpine Wildoflowers are in bloom and the berry crops are almost ripe! Take a guided hike to learn more about our unique flora, fauna, and fossils.

NOTICES
We have several bears, moose and cougar on the mountain. Watch for signage at the lift bases and always ride & hike with caution. Make lots of noise and be bear aware!
