Trail conditions

Color Codes:
Green=trail is clear; no significant obstacles to foot traffic
Yellow=trail has some impediments; needs maintenance
Red=trail difficult to follow; treacherous trail surface or numerous impediments
Gray=no current report/status unknown

The color codes refer to maintenance status only and do not reflect the difficulty of the terrain.

Sources:

  • Hiker/Mtn Biker=Information received from trail users
  • USFS=Forest Service crew
  • Work Rpt=obtained from trail maintainers
  • Dist Capt=This section’s District Captain’s report

Disclaimer: The “Last Condition Report” color code is date & opinion of the person reporting. Carefully consider these factors and the elapsed time period (i.e. growing seasons that have passed) since the last Work Report date. FoOT cannot guarantee the condition of the trail at the time you experience it due to ever-changing factors in the forest. This is a challenging wilderness-type trail with mountains, rocks, creeks, rivers, uneven tread and various obstacles. For further information on trail conditions on a specific section contact FoOT@friendsOT.org.
