Trail Conditions for 5-20-16

Snow King and Munger are melted out and clear of trees and Teton Pass trails are in good shape below about 7800 feet in elevation.  The Ridge trail and Phillip’s Canyon are clear up to rock world and just below the Arrow trail junction respectively.  The crews cleared 68 trees and cleaned 197 drainage features this week off of Cabin Creek, Crater, Phillip’s Canyon, Lower Ridge, Hagen, and Munger.  They  will be working on replacing some of the Josie’s Ridge steps next week so watch for construction up there.  The trails are right at the saturation point of being muddy after the .31 inches of rain we received yesterday (remember that .3 inches is the magic number for muddy trails) so try to get out during sunny weather windows this weekend.  If in doubt the roads are a good indicator, if the pavement has dried out the trails should be just right.
