Due to multiple downed limbs in today's windstorm, the Cottonwood Climb and Cottonwood Jumpline trails are closed until further notice. We hope to have the limbs removed as soon as possible so you can all enjoy the trails over the holidays!

All other trails remain open, but with the recent and continuing moisture this week, please be mindful and avoid muddy trails.
