Since 1976, together with our staff, a three-person elected Board of Directors, partners, supporters and volunteers, we have brought affordable, accessible and quality recreation to Blaine County residents and visitors.

July 3, 2026

Trails are in great shape after the wet weather we had in our area, especially north valley trails that received more rain throughout the week.

Forest Service reports that all trails are open, and crews will continue to perform maintenance throughout the summer.

Sun Valley Company reports that scenic lift access is open Wednesday - Sunday, 9 a.m. - 4 p.m., and lift-assisted biking opened July 1. Though Saddle Up and Lupine trails will remain closed for the season, more trails are now open. River Run Trail, Mindbender, and Pale Rider opened Wednesday, July 1, for mountain bike access.

Our trails will be busier throughout July. Please respect trail etiquette and stay safe out there!

Happy 4th and enjoy the trails!
