People hiking and biking the trails are being extra cautious after two people were trapped in a mudslide in Fruit Heights.
FRUIT HEIGHTS — With the beautiful weather, a lot of people are itching to get outside. But they're also keeping in mind — all of the snow on the mountains has to go somewhere, and it could impact the way they play in the great outdoors."It's got trails ranging from very easy that you can take a small child on," Lowe said.This year, bikes have stayed in the garage longer than usual."Today? No," Lowe said to KSL-TV on Monday.
The threat of mudslides and avalanches in the foothills is something Lowe considers before he hits the dirt. "All of the creeks are going to be flowing at a tremendously high level with a lot of cold water, so caution needs to be exercised.""If I pull my bike off and start riding and it's flicking mud off and sticking to my tires, chances are it's not a trail you should be riding on.""Don't be afraid to pull up to a trailhead and assess the conditions and think it doesn't look good today.""The mountains will be here tomorrow, so come back another day.
Lowe said "the farm" in Farmington isn't quite ready for trail riding. He said give it another week or so. He expects people will be able to hit the trails then.
