Trails are still muddy in the Boise Foothills after recent rain, but there are still options available if you're looking to get some activity in.
The Ridge to Rivers website says that people should notice trail conditions slowly drying as we head into the weekend — with warmer weather and sunshine in the forecast. All weather and sandy trails are firming up first, so Ridge to Rivers recommends you try out those trails at this point.
Even with the improving conditions, there are still plenty of muddy trails throughout the Ridge to Rivers system. With overnight temperatures still dropping below freezing, Ridge to Rivers says that trails only have the daylight hours to continue drying.
Trails in clay-based soils, like those at Table Rock, will still be wet and muddy and should be avoided. The Ridge to Rivers interactive map is updated daily so you can make the best choice on where to get your outdoor recreation in.
David Gordon, the Ridge to Rivers trail manager, joined Idaho Matters to tell us what trails are closed and why our soil makes it hard for damaged trails to recover.
