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.

October 16, 2026

We have had a beautiful October so far! This weekend Looks to be a great one for getting out on the trails before we get some cooler temps and possible precipitation next week. As always, pack extra layers and a headlamp for fall adventures.

Sheep herds are moving out of our valley. Forest Service reports herds are scheduled to be off all the grazing allotments by October 25th.

Happy fall and enjoy the trails!

NOTES & REMINDERS:

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.

Quigley: The first ¼ mile of Quigley Road is closed July 8 - October 31. If you are recreating out Quigley Canyon, follow the detour signs.

Quigley Hill Trailhead/parking and trail access from trailhead is open.
