Shoutout to Mike Weber of Red Team Homes for providing the operating hours for our local Open Spaces.
Because of various easement agreements, land acquisition agreements, resource and habitat protections, and management challenges our local trails and trailheads have a variety of operating hours. Please respect closure hours. Neighboring property owners have been known to report use during closures.
