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.

September 4, 2026

Happy Labor Day weekend! The holiday often feels like the unofficial end of summer, and the recent weather is already giving us a preview of fall. Trails are open and generally in great shape. South valley trails, especially BLM’s Croy Trails, are loose this time of year, so use extra caution on corners if you are biking.

Stay safe this weekend, watch for changing fall conditions, and enjoy the trails!
