Hiking Information

Local streams are still running high and there is likely damage to some trails and trailheads.

Donate to First Responders

Many of our local first responders are volunteers. They have worked hard since the flooding began and this is a year where they have already been stretched thin. Please consider donating to fire departments, rescue squads, paramedics, and other volunteer-run emergency workers in the affected areas.
