7/15/19:  The 2nd river crossing at Farris/Canal is a bit sporty. PLEASE use caution and know what you are getting into.

7/1/19: Farris is riding.  Don’t turn right at the bottom – that Brush Creek crossing is the MUY MUY Peligroso (very stinkin’ dangerous) one!

6/13/19: The Road out to Farris is open, but the singletrack is not. If you push through to the other side, the CREEKS ARE RAGING! You need to take the Bonus/Canal back to Brush Creek Road. Do not attempt to cross the Creek.

6/10/19: Word on the street is Strand Hill proper is riding great! Keep us posted with an Observation if we got bad beta (or you have other updates to share!)

7/1/19: Probably riding, or close to it, but DON’T attempt the crossing at the bottom – very dangerous.  If not there, the next crossing is very dangerous.  So for that, we saying it’s not riding!

7/15/19: trees down near top and still too wet. “We cleared that stretch of double top from 409.5 to Waterfall, but it was still holding lots of water so thought it better not to publicize yet.  We poked into waterfall but got snowed / treed out right where the new re route starts.  We’ll try to get beck there early next week, should be good by then.” from the Gunnison Valley O.H.V Alliance of Trailriders (The GOATs)  THANK YOU GOATS!
