Hot Springs Trail Renewal Assessment April 24

Hugh W and Bob T walked the Hot Springs Trail from the upper to lower trailheads on Thursday April 24 to assess for hazards, condition of the crossings and other trail infrastructure, and the general condition of the trail. Numerous dead standing snags in close proximity to the trail and several insecurely lodged deadfall’s were identified as hazards requiring removal as soon as practicable. All of the crossings and rough hewen boardwalks appeared safe but many will require repair or replacement in from two to five years. The trail was considered to be in good condition and provides an exceptional user experience.
