#START UPDATE#.......................................................................

Reported 7/10/09 6:26 PM MDT

It's all open now. Go nuts but be sure to ride through, not around, any muddy spots you cross. Do your best to keep it single.

According to the Forest Service, mild winter conditions downed a lot of trees. Expect some tree-fall, especially in the early season and on less popular trails.
