Trail Outlook
Cold mornings, warm afternoons, calm winds, and dry trails. Second only to firm damp trails, these are the kind of fall conditions that have me daydreaming of long hikes with the pups or rides exploring fall colors with the family. There is a possibility of unsettled weather rolling in late Sunday. The winds are expected to be increasing starting in the mid-morning. Otherwise, conditions look prime.
Be kind, be safe, and enjoy.
