Time for a trail update!
Unal and Portuguese Trail are ALL clear and riding well! the North Portuguese has had work as well. A usfs trail machine was on lower Portuguese, so its a bit wider and looser near the bottom. It also worked on the lower half of the Sand Shed Trail.

People are riding Just Outstanding again, but its quite a different experience after the burn. A whole lot sunnier. The trail machine temporarily widened some sections of the trail, but much of it still has that same awesome singletrack flow.

Sherman Pass opened up as well! Cannell Trail is already seeing a ton of riders: there's minimal snow and about 10 trees down with ride-arounds.

Please consider contributing.

Scouting for Big Berries We learned from our meeting at the Forest Service office that the time to harvest manzanita berries is right now, and we didn't want to miss out on this opportunity. Following a possible berry location lead, we were able to scout some outstanding groves that are about 20' ta...
