Sandy Ridge is getting beat up right now...
The BLM has issued a temporary closure. Also, the June 5th National Trails Day work party has been CANCELLED (and will be rescheduled for later this summer).
Please RESPECT the closure and pass the word on:
Sandy Ridge Trail System Temporary Trail Closure
June 3nd- July 20th
In order to address undesirable trail conditions and allow for installation of a trail bridge over Little Joe Creek, the Bureau of Land Management is instituting a temporary trail closure of Hide and Seek Trail.
Unseasonably wet weather coupled with high levels of visitor use has led to ongoing damage to Hide and Seek Trail. During the temporary closure, BLM will be performing priority maintenance including enhancing drainage and armoring various trail sections. Staying off of trail during this time will improve long-term trail conditions.
Throughout this period, bridge installation will also be taking place. Public safety concerns with bridge installation have led to the need to close certain sections of this trail while this work is performed. The Sandy Ridge Trails will be on a rotating schedule for the next 6 weeks. We are anticipating that all sections of Hide and Seek trail will open by July 20th.
Trail Closure Dates
June 3rd:
Entire Hide and Seek Trail Closed to Public Use
June 18th:
Lower Hide and Seek Trail (below Little Joe Creek crossing) Opens
Upper Hide and Seek Trail (above Little Joe Creek) Remains Closed
July 20th:
All segments of Hide and Seek Trail Open for Public Use
