FOURTH OF JULY WEEKEND TRAIL REPORT:
Happy July 4th weekend! Trails are in great shape but its hot out there. You will find more shade and cooler temperatures on the many trails in the Eastside/Stack Rock area or around Bogus Basin.
If you use the trails regularly, you are well aware of the fact that grass growth is at an all time high this summer following all of the late spring rain. These are quickly drying out and becoming extremely flammable. Please remember that fireworks are illegal in the Foothills, and even smoking cigarettes is highly discouraged. Help us spread this message, and if you see any suspect activity with regard to fireworks, please notify Boise Police or Ada County Sheriff's office.
Lastly, remember that the trails are and will be busy. Please use good trail etiquette - be friendly, say hello and yield appropriately - everyone is out there to enjoy the trails.
Thank you and have a safe and enjoyable weekend!
