Survey Anyone?
To start with, the kiosk at Trailhead Park is home to a gentleman who is doing a survey. I encourage you to take a few minutes to give him your opinion. I’ll have a story on the survey posted here by Thursday evening.

Even with our hundred degree plus days, Badger Mountain trails are really getting a workout! I hiked early this morning to beat the heat and many other people had the same idea! I would say I saw at least 30 or more people just in my short time on the hill today.

The high temperature yesterday was 108 degrees fahrenheit, mid 90’s today so a little milder but it is still a big draw. I saw regulars, runners and first-timers on the trail! I encourage anyone who hasn’t hiked Badger Mountain before to get up early and head for the hill. Check the hike directions on the left side of the page for maps, details and more. Make sure to bring your water bottle!
