Be alert for falling branches and rockfall from higher slopes as snow melts. Trail crew has been continuing cutting brush and trees from the Chisos Mountain trails. All clear except Juniper canyon and Pine canyon trails. Be on the look out for loose over-hanging branches and limbs. Just completed a hot springs road repair involving a collapse of a section of the historic rock wall supporting the road.
Road is open.
The Pinnacles Trail from the Basin to the Boot Canyon cabin has been cleared of all fallen trees and branches. The Boot canyon trail from the cabin to the south rim is clogged with large trees down as is the Colima trail. Hikers need to know that hiking time will be a bit longer due to these trail conditions and that it will be a few weeks before all of it is cleared. Due to the recent ice storm of October 6-9th, the Chisos mountain trails have numerous trees and branches down and hanging limbs. Caution should be taken while hiking in the Chisos Mountains.
