From the FS:
"Hi all,
With this beautiful weather, I am sure you are anxious to get out and hit the trail. I wanted to make sure that I reminded people that the following trails are currently under the wet trail closure:
Mill Canyon #040
Tibble Fork #041
Pine Hollow #047
Salamander Flat #150
Ridge #157
Mud Springs #173
Willow Hollow #159
South Fork of Little Deer Creek #252
We went up American Fork canyon yesterday and cleared several trails and we feel really good about how the trails are looking. They are drying very quickly and have had very few trees down. We were able to hike almost a mile up the Timpooneke Trail before we hit snow (last year it was the end of June before we could get to this part of the trail). Many of the notoriously wet trails only have a few sections that are wet or that still have snow. Having said this, it is just as important this year to stay off the trails until they have been opened. We made new signs that cannot be missed that are posted on the trails that are part of this closure. If the weather stays this way, I think most of these trails will be ready to open before Memorial Day. Please be patient and respect the closure as this protects the trails. Luckily this year the wait won’t be nearly as long. I attached a picture of the trail closure sign. I will send out more updates as we start opening the trails.
For now other trails that are not part of this closure are open. Please keep in mind though that if the trail is wet, you should turn around and wait to ride to avoid causing trail damage.
