What an amazing rainy couple of days! I hope you all can get out on the trails and enjoy the conditions. When heading out, check the sunrise and sunset times, fall is here and it is getting dark quickly. Don’t forget to pack those extra layers and a headlamp just in case.

There is still plenty of trail time left- enjoy it!

Stage 1 Fire restrictions have been lifted: Lifting the restrictions means the public is free to build campfires, use a charcoal barbecue, or smoke outside of designated campgrounds and recreation sites.
However, fire managers would like to remind the public that wildfires can be prevented year-round by following a few simple tips:

Never leave a campfire unattended.
Always keep water, dirt, and a shovel near a fire.
Make sure your fire is dead out and cold to the touch before leaving it.
Never use fireworks, exploding targets, or tracer rounds on or near public land.
