COTA Trails Report

So it appears that summer is finally here in Central Oregon. There's a noticeable change in the air and on the trails. Routes that were snow-blocked through June are opening in places and the coming of The Dust is nigh. Make sure to bring plenty of water when you go out to combat the heat.
Some higher-elevation trails remain partially blocked by downed trees but COTA's sawyers are busy getting those cleared. South Fork, Swampy-Swede Tie (SST) and Swede Ridge trails are clear of trees. Some of the Vista Butte trails and the lower Flagline section are still snowbound and likely clogged by downed trees. The Metolious-Windigo trail above Happy Valley is not clear yet so bikers should avoid riding up North Fork as it is only one-way for bikes.
