Catamount riders may have noticed a problem with the railing on the lowest bridge. What actually happened is that the long plank that is holding the railing post finally rotted out and broke. Believe it or not, these bridges are 10 years old now, so we will likely be replacing more planks soon. The steel beams should outlast us all.

The battle of the brush is never won but always fought. Holler if you see us in the trail at Silver Falls and we will step out of the way!

If you are familiar with the Newt Loop drop box features, there was a ride-around tree at the top of the drops. The storm knocked down the tree and left a giant crater and up-ended root ball. Today we cut it and the stump stood up and filled the crater. The ride-around is back, this time with a podium in the middle!

Many thanks to this clean-up crew! Now that the logs are removed from Silver Falls backcountry trails, they are much more pleasant to use with large limbs and debris thrown off.
And here is an important notice to trail users: Private property logging will be taking place using the lower few miles of Lookout Mountain road out of 214 TH for the next few months. Please try to use trails instead of the road if at all possible, for everyone's safety.

Here's one way to fill a rootball crater in the trail.

Good news for Silver Falls! By the end of the day Sunday SATA saw teams will have cleared all of the backcountry trails with the exception of Perimeter south of Rackett Ridge. Parks staff have repaired the washout at Howard Creek and are working as fast as they can to get the next section of canyon trails re-opened. You might still find branches and debris and an isolated log here and there but the trails are open and ready.
