Comments
Comments: The trails are in good condition and thanks to the trail adopters for removing the blowdowns on the trails as it was quite a mess there this winter. Haystack and Gale River Loop Rd are open. There's some standing water and mud between North and South Twin but easily traversed and not particularly deep. That might change for a few days after this weekend's rain. Wildflowers are blooming throughout this traverse and beautiful! Trilliums, Violets, Lady Slippers and Bunch Berry.
