Now that the monsoons have passed, at least temporarily, we plan to be back building trails. Game trail is nearing completion and Grizzly will be the next on the docket. Additionally, at the direction of CAL FIRE, we will be modifying the high banked switchbacks on Mac’s Trail that adheres to CAL FIRE’s project description of multi-use trails and for user safety.

Mac’s trail will remain open while the work is being done. Keep an eye on our Facebook and website for trail workday announcements. Please know that the trails on Boggs Mountain Demonstration State Forest are open to hiking, mountain biking and equestrian use only. Please be mindful and courteous of others, keep dogs on leash and leave no trace. If you would like to join our group in developing more trails, please join! For forest information, you can contact Cal Fire at 707-928-4378.”

Here is your opportunity to join us for a three hour guided hike at Boggs. The hike is planned for Saturday morning March 1. You must be prepared for a moderate level hike. Approximately 600’ elevation gain with occasional stops for the first mile before summiting and descending back to the parking lot.

In addition, bring water, snacks and binoculars. If clear enough, the snow capped Sierra Nevada Mountains and the top of Mt. Lassen may be seen!

Weather is anticipated to be mid 60s with sunny skies however rain will cancel.

RSVP  to fobm@boggsmountain.org so we have a proper head count. The hike will be capped at 20 people. No walk-ins, no dogs and children must be accompanied by an adult. The hike will begin at 9am sharp in the main parking lot, and conclude at noon.

More information will follow for those who sign up so sign up soon!

In light of the fact that we’ve had somewhere in the neighborhood of 12” of rain in the last week, we’ve decided to cancel the trail work day scheduled for this Saturday Feb. 8. If we have four or five days of dry weather next week we may try it again on the 15th. Stay tuned.

New updated trail maps now available! Trail updates include Hoberg Loop, Thinner and Creek Trail. In an effort to simplify and increase geographic awareness some trails are also being consolidated to better indicate the trail destination or location. Scout and Karen’s trail are being incorporated into Mac’s, Thinner and Bear Bones will be incorporated into Boggs Peak. Don’t worry, trail signage and the new map reflects both names to avoid confusion. Maps can be purchased for $3.00 at the kiosk in the parking lot as well as the Cal Fire office near the post office in Cobb or by emailing [email protected]. 

The rough cut of Game Trail is completed on the east side of the mountain. On the morning of Saturday February 8 we plan to organize a group to do some finish work on the trail. The work will include the use of chainsaws, mcleods, rakes and shovels. Please RSVP to [email protected] if you wish to join us. Spots are limited so respond as soon as possible. Lunch will be provided by FOBM with more details to follow for those who plan to attend.
