September 20 Trail Report
September 20, 2025 8:00 AM
Ridge to Rivers plans to close two trailheads and their corresponding trails for one day this week, allowing restoration crews to complete targeted treatments to control invasive cheatgrass and rush skeletonweed. The temporary closures are expected to begin at sunrise and conclude by 3 p.m. each day. Signs will be posted on site and gates will be closed while work is ongoing.
- Hawkins Range Reserve will be closed on Tuesday, September 23
- Polecat Gulch Reserve will be closed on Wednesday, September 24
Cheatgrass is one of the most pervasive weeds found in the Boise Foothills, and this short closure will allow our team to take a careful, proactive and more strategic approach to invasive species control while promoting a healthier sagebrush steppe into the future.
