Trail Talk: November 12, 2025
🍂 Seasonal Shift & Trail Updates from CWTA
As the seasons begin to change here in Central Wyoming, we’ve already seen a dusting of snow across our trail systems. With light snowfall, fatbiking becomes one of the best ways to enjoy the outdoors—especially as our new trail segments continue to “season” and settle. Winter trail marking will begin soon, so stay tuned for updates as we transition into colder months.

The past few wind events have caused multiple trees to fall again. We have removed another 6 trees from the trail and will continue to monitor the area for more. A huge thank you to our dedicated volunteers and trail stewards for assisting with removals and keeping us informed of trail needs.
