  • Trails

    ​
    Sept. 14-17, 2023:  Trails 33, 34 and a small section of 17 are open but there will be trail crews using machinery to install culverts.  Please avoid the area.  

    Starting on Sept. 4-21, 2023, the trail crew will be working on Geer Pond Trail #25. This section will remain closed to all trail traffic starting at the Tenderfoot BCC and going to the intersection of Beaver Ponds Trail #26. Trail #25 will remain open, but it will be busy with equipment traffic, so please be advised to explore elsewhere in the park.

    Safety Information

    • Mountain weather is unpredictable. Storms can move in rapidly, with rain or hail, even in summer. Be prepared!
    • High elevations intensify solar rays. Bring sunscreen, lip balm, a hat and sunglasses.
    • Always go prepared to spend the night in case of injury or if someone in your party gets lost. Bring plenty of water, food, compass/GPS, flashlight with extra batteries, fire starter, waterproof matches, and a cell phone with a charged battery. 
    • Allow for limited daylight, varying conditions, temperature extremes and the ability of group members. 
    • Park in designated areas only. Parking along the side of the roadway is prohibited. ​
