Know Before You Go

By knowing the conditions of your destination, you can make sure that you are prepared for your hike, trail ride, snowmobile excursion, ski day, or backpacking trip. Use the tips and resources below to stay up to date on conditions.

• Check road conditions for your area and destination. Information on forest service roads can be found on our Current Conditions. Information on state maintained roads can be found at cotrip.org or wyoroad.info.
• Be aware of area closures, restrictions, and other rules in place by browsing relevant Forest Orders.
• Be prepared for changing weather/snow conditions. Visit weather.gov to view forecasts and weather alerts for your destination.
• Review tips and tricks to Recreate Responsibly.
• Recognize that outdoor recreation is a popular pastime. Parking lots and recreation sites may be crowded. Have a Plan B destination as a contingency plan in case Plan A's parking lot is full.
