JACKSON HOLE, WYO – Blind Bull Road is closed until further notice. That’s the word from the Greys River Ranger District of the Bridger-Teton National Forest.
Blind Bull road (Forest Service Road 10123) will be closed to the public at mile marker 2 the week of September 5 due to a landslide.
Between June 4 and 6, 2017 a large landslide took out a portion of the Blind Bull road making it impassable. An emergency closure was put in place while an assessment of the damage was completed. Initially an emergency repair was being considered, however after multiple assessments completed by forest engineers and partner entities, the landslide was determined to be highly unstable.
“Safety is a major concern and the Forest Service will reassess the stability of the area next year with hopes to repair the road,” said Justin Laycock, Greys River District Ranger.
The closure point on the road at mile-2 was selected as the best and safest place to turn around or park a vehicle. Blind Bull road serves as important access to the public during summer and winter months.
“Public access is an important aspect of the Forest Service mission and we will continue with efforts to restore this access as conditions allow,” said Laycock.
For more information please contact the Greys River Ranger District at 307-886-5300.
It's the Greys river to Blind Bull warming hut that won't be groomed. The Horse Creek side to will still be groomed, just don't know when they'll start. Not enough snow down low yet.
I rode out of horse creek today. When we got back to the truck at 4:00 the groomer was just leaving the parking lot to head up and groom! Ride in tomorrow will be nice and smooth!
It was a mud hole if you parked in the Sherman parking lot. Pretty much from the bridge to the parking lot was mud. I number of us drove down the trail a mile or two and parked where there e was still snow on the trail. Sleds came back clean, but the truck and trailer were a mess. The trail was not groomed. Looked like the groomer only drove down the trail a little ways and turned around and went back to the parking lot. The trail was a bumpy frozen mess.
Gents, thanks for this info!
We were thinking of hitting Pinedale this winter, and riding out of Daniel a few days would be part of that.
If I follow correctly, they'll groom out of Sherman, but not through to where H splits off... I see on the 2017/18 map that about half way in from Sherman there is a "limited grooming possible" marker...
Hopefully there will be no problem getting around this spot, and they'll groom from both directions...
I'll keep watching this thread to see what comes of it.
I see Blind Bull is at 37" already. We have nothing here in SW CO, and I think it's supposed to be a warm dry winter for us.
Cold Bay, Alaska (CNN)Far down the Alaskan peninsula, where it curves into the Bering Sea, lies the remote Izembek National Wildlife Refuge. The federally protected, 492-square-mile wilderness area is home to brown bears, caribou, wolves, and, once a year, the entire world population of black brant geese.
The Interior Department, led by Secretary Ryan Zinke, is pushing a plan that would -- for the first time -- allow a new road through a federally protected wilderness area, according to internal government emails. Local authorities say the road is needed to transport residents of the tiny, isolated city of King Cove to hospitals in the event of medical emergencies.
Can anyone give me an update!!!!!!!
How are the snow conditions from the parking lot to Blind Bull warming house. Trail is groomed to the warming hut, about 3' of hard snow up high.
Can you ride out of the parking lot yet??????? Not really, you need to drive up the road about a mile.
Is the parking lot MUD? No, it's been cold so the grounds frozen, but just not enough snow to ride from there
update
We came up
Found plenty of snow and some good powder even!
Trails could use some more grooming, lots of use.
