IMPORTANT: 2007 Summer Access is Limited. Unfortunately, due to last fall's Flooding Disasters , our South District is closed to public access until approximately October. BUT, there is a way to spend time on our trails and at the huts this summer... Just attend one of our Fun Summer Work Parties! , or email us about having your own work party (restrictions apply). This has the added benefit of providing significant matching funds for our Snow Cat fund-raising drive! For more information, see Just Take These Steps.
Load up your mountain bikes. Strap on your backpacks. The adventures are unique and you can pick your own pace. Its summer in our backcountry!
