Muddy and Messy
A new website lets Boise trail users know about the condition of their favorite trails.
Muddy and messy trail
Winter months can mean muddy and messy trails. You can avoid causing permanent trail damage by traveling only on frozen or dry trails. Morning hours are often best for finding a frozen trail. Above all, you should turn around if you encounter muddy trails.
Rules of Thumb for Winter Trail Use
If you are consistently leaving tracks or if mud is sticking to your shoes or tires, turn around. Travel through the puddles and muddy spots. Do not leave the trail to go around them.
In Boise? Look It Up!
But how to do you know a trail will be muddy before you decide to go? Maybe you've wished there was a website where you could read about local trail conditions. In Boise, Ridge to Rivers created a website where trail users can look up current trail conditions.
