All alerts will be posted on the corresponding staging area page if applicable.
Do not leave anything of value in your tow vehicle or trailer, including vehicle and trailer registration. Since 2005 there have been many reports of vehicle break-ins at some of the staging areas.
Use caution when riding off the trail or even stepping off the trail at Olmstead ( and other places as well). At Olmstead there are some areas where old wire is buried under brush and grass and horses have been seriously injured. So please be careful when getting off the trail to ride side by side or to let others pass - wire can be very hard to see if you can see it at all.
