Groomed Trails
UPPER LOGAN CANYON SNOWMOBILE TRAIL GROOMING REPORT
UPDATED 3/27/2023:
We generally groom in the later afternoon and into the
evening/night of the day/date scheduled. If you encounter the snowcat/groomer
on the trails, please remember, it does not have the maneuverability of a
snowmobile. Pass it with caution.
We are scaling back grooming operations as the calendar moves
closer to spring conditions. We will determine this week if we will be grooming
through April 8, 2023.
These are the trails we plan to do this coming week:
3/28/2023 – Tuesday: Garden City Canyon and Sinks trail to the
top of Log Cabin Hollow.
3/29/2023 – Wednesday: Swan Flat Loop and Beaver Creek trails.
