Weekend Outlook 9/29-10/02, 2022

Trail Damage Warning:

• Whites Creek had some serious flooding in the early August round of downpours. Major trail damage along much of the lower section of trail as well as some of the upper section. The local trail managers are all aware of the damage and would appreciate users seeking alternate routes until they are able to get repairs done. Due to the extensive nature of the current damage, that may not be this year. If you are planning on doing the Dry Pond loop, be careful or consider an out and back on the Thomas Creek side.

Trail Outlook

• Another epic fall weekend to be outdoors. If you are running or riding trails, watch out in the corners. The rain we got washed the dirt away and lots of trail corners are now overpopulated with marble size stones. Slippery when dry. Otherwise, enjoy the spectacular weekend!

If you get out, let us know what you saw by submitting a trail report.

Be kind, be safe, and enjoy.

Top to bottom dry.
