Trail condition @ Lair o’ the Bear: some ice & mud patches. Much is drained & dry. Time to start carrying microspikes. If you hit a muddy patch, hike & ride through it, not around it. You trample plants & widen trails when you go around mud. #LNT @JeffcoOpenSpace

Heads up, @JeffcoOpenSpace visitors! Today is good #rattlesnake weather. Cool overnight temps make warm #trails appealing for basking. Keep #dogs on a short lead & keep one earbud out! See a #snake? Give it space & time to leave the area like this one is doing. @ North Table Loop

The poster is from AZ, but the message applies @JeffcoOpenSpace today. Hot trails can be deadly for #dogs. Walk early or late in the day to avoid K9 heat stress & heat stroke. Some dogs collapse without warning. Look for symptoms such as thick saliva & frequent stops. #safety

Made my day! Two runners noted me picking up trash along the trail @ North Table Mtn & asked for a bag so they could do the same. We ❤️ visitors who help take care of their trails. @JeffcoOpenSpace Mesa Top Trail #LNT #packitout

Coyotes are an excellent reason to leash your #dog. This one was out foraging at 11 a.m. today @ Van Bibber. Coyotes see domestic dogs as competition, particularly during denning season. Be safe, not sorry. ❤️ ‘em, leash ‘em @JeffcoOpenSpace #safety

River ice: beautiful & potentially deadly. No #ice is safe. Enjoy river, pond & lake ice from the shore. Keep pets leashed & off the ice. Be safe, not sorry. @JeffcoOpenSpace Clear Creek Canyon, Mayhem Gulch Bridge. #safety

DYK your favorite durable, natural surface #Jeffcotrails are not durable when muddy? Protect the trails you ❤️. Encounter a muddy patch? Go through it, not around it. Going off trail tramples plants, widening the trail & causing erosion. If the whole trail is mud, NO GO. Period.

Riding up Cottonwood at lunch the snow was getting slushy in spots. That trail will be mud with another day of sun on Monday. Would be good to stay off that one for a few days.

Celebrating a white Christmas Day with a dusting of snow @ Lair o’ the Bear. With conditions so dry, it is more important than ever to stay on authorized trails. Going off trail tramples plants that are already drought stressed. #LNT & travel on durable surfaces.
