View through smoke from Coal Ridge towards Glacier NP, July 17, 2021 – W K Walker

Fire season has really slowed trail work down, especially in the North Fork region, which is hosting the Hay Creek Fire, but the August 9, 2021 Forest Service Trail Condition Reports for the Glacier View and Hungry Horse Ranger Districts have been posted to the website Trail Conditions page.

These reports contain a fair amount of useful information. Besides trail conditions, they include trail numbers, their official names and end-to-end mileages. The reports may also list information on trail and area closures, especially during fire season.

The current fire danger is EXTREME. All county, state and federal lands are under Stage 2 fire restrictions.
