Trip Details

Date: January 21, 2026

Trail: Rho Creek

Trail #: 569

Submitted by: Rob

Trail Conditions

It was 24 degrees when I started - cold but crisp. No real snow at the start. Snow mostly started where trail enters the old cut. From there up to Fadeaway springs the trail was covered and in some places pretty deep. The great news is that the first 2+ miles of the trail are clear of blowdown. There are only a half dozen past that and they are all pretty small - nothing significant. Great bluebird day on a great old trail!
