Weather Policy

In early and late season impact of rain can vary. In spring it will take very little rain for trail to move to mid-fat or plus tires only or close to riding. Some segments will be dry while many others have standing water. High river levels will delay the draining and drying out of the trail. Monitor reports for when conditions are good to go. In a normal summer things dry out pretty fast. If there's been an inch of rain day before probably best to wait until late afternoon or evening of the next day. Trail conditions are updated frequently for this trail.
