September 13th: Most of the single track trails at West Bragg Creek recovered quickly after the 55mm of rain that fell mid-week. By Friday afternoon, most trails were damp or tacky, with a few lingering puddles. The trails are good to go for the weekend. The wide trails are taking longer to dry out, so expect to see puddles and muddy areas for a few more days. Fall colours are starting in the lower vegetation and a few trees are showing hints of yellow.
At any time come prepared for a variety of conditions. Be sure not to overestimate your ability when planning your trip: Humility can be a lifesaver. Bring plenty of water, snacks and multiple clothing layers.
To protect the trails from damage, please try to stay off the trails if they are very soft.
The Bragg Creek Trails group asks users to check their website for detailed condition reports before choosing their route. Ensuring you are using the correct trails at the correct times, helps to preserve trail tread and aids in preserving the hard work of volunteers and staff.
