Upper road out of the park has deep snow and is not rideable.
Rode Creature Comfort, Twisted Sister, and Rabid Badger out and back after 5:00pm. The trails were in the best condition I've seen all winter. It must have been cold enough during the day that it wasn't slushy at all. Who ever groomed (Matt?) it was perfect.

HIKERS and HORSE USERS ALERT--The bridge on Icicle Creek Trail #1551, 1½ miles from the trailhead, was damaged over the winter and is not safe to use. This trail is located at the end of Icicle Valley, just beyond the Black Pine Horse Camp, and accesses the French Creek area of the Alpine Lakes Wilderness. Trails #1551 and #1595 are impacted and unavailable due to the loss of the use of this bridge. As high runoff is likely to continue for some time from the heavy winter snowpack, fording is not an option until water levels diminish. Contact the Wenatchee River Ranger District at 509-548-2550 for more information.

CHELAN PUD PLANS TRANSMISSION POLE REPLACEMENT AT HORSE LAKE RESERVE
Fire resiliency and long-term maintenance investment cited
WENATCHEE -- Trail users can expect short-term, intermittent closures along the Horse Lake Trail system from mid-October to mid-November while Chelan PUD replaces four wooden transmission line structures with steel poles. The intermittent trail closures are necessary for public safety while a helicopter flies in materials overhead, and crews operate heavy machinery in the area. Trail users will also see flaggers and signs at the work site.
“The construction timeline is tight between fire season and wet conditions in the fall,” says Steve Wickel, Transmission Engineering Manager at Chelan PUD. “By using a helicopter, we can reduce the number of trips to the work site with materials and heavy equipment, and reduce impacts to the reserve. After the work is finished, the site will be seeded to help restore natural habitat for the long term.”
The work schedule is dependent on weather, which can be unpredictable in fall. Before heading to the foothills, be sure to check chelanpud.org or cdlandtrust.org for trail status updates.
The Apple Capital Loop Trail between Confluence State Park and Odabashian Bridge will be temporarily rerouted for about two months during a riverbank restoration project.

The following are steps you can take to improve the air quality inside your home: • Keep windows and doors closed to avoid smoky air from coming inside; • Avoid bringing outdoor air inside by setting air conditioner(s) to “recirculate”; • Avoid adding indoor air pollution and do not vacuum, use candles, or smoke; and • Use a portable air cleaner with a HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filter. Stay informed of the latest wildfires and air quality information by visiting the Washington Smoke Blog.

During this public health crisis, spending time in outdoor spaces has become even more important for many Americans. Yet these unusual circumstances mean that all of us, from seasoned outdoor enthusiasts to families heading out to their local park for the first time, could use a little guidance about how to stay safe.
