My daughter and I were coming by HopEv area so we stopped and took a hike in on the trail were the new bridge was built.
Conditions look very good for the trails opening on May 23 as the signs indicate.

Way drier than last year...who knows, if we don't get any heavy rains they may open it early!

Actually, it might be a good time to start clearing the trails.

You're right...there was a lot of debris from the winter...branches, etc.

It's great weather to walk through and do some clearing.

Mud Season and the opening of Hop-Ev is by State Statue, nothing to do with actual conditions.
One size fits all...May 23rd.

Does mud season include foot traffic? Was thinking of hiking out there to clear whatever crap/blowdowns ended up on the trails.

You are ok walking the trails anytime you want.
This weekend should be a great time to do so, as the bugs aren't out in force yet. I enjoy snowshoing on BT and the River loop. It is very peaceful and quiet. It is easy to cut face slappers then because you are a couple feet higher up!

The floods, from the past couple years, delayed the opening. It normally opens May 23.

Seems like either last year or the year before it opened closer to July b/c of the floods.

No he means Laborday! That would have been my first day back on a bike in 2 years. Instead I spent 3 years off.
