BOISE FOOTHILLS — As winter arrives, so do seasonal trail closures. The City of Boise and Ridge to Rivers partnership has announced closures to preserve Boise trails.

Starting Monday, Dec. 1, Landslide Loop Trail #70, Hawkins Range Reserve, 8th Street Extension Road and Sideshow Trail #46 will be closed.

The closures aim to protect trails from damage as well as to preserve habitats and important wildlife corridors.

“The land our Ridge to Rivers trails cross is not only used by hikers, bikers and equestrians, but it is also important habitat for native plants and animals," said Boise Parks and Recreation Director Sara Arkle. "Winter is a critical time of year to protect and support them."

Ridge to Rivers announced it is prepared to close seven trails later this season.
