Weekend Trails Update

Ah July.  I was just recently talking to a friend who moved to Crested Butte in 2008, the last BIG snow year.  He said that that year, Trail 401 was rideable as a loop on July 4th.  This year, it's past July 4th and reports are still coming in of snow banks up high.  Guess it did snow a good bit.  On the plus side, if you're willing to wade across the river, 401 can be ridden as an out and back.

Other high trails are starting to come into form.  The classic Reno/Flag/Bear/Deadmans loop is passable, though there are some impressive mud bogs on Bear.  Looking across the valley, Hunter is looking good and Double Top looks passable, but don't quote me on that as I haven't actually been up there.  I've just looked from afar.

It looks to be another great weekend in the Butte.  Get out and enjoy it!
