Red Cliffs is to Boise trails what bacon is to a breakfast combo: it’s rarely the main event, but it never fails to leave you with a smile. Red Cliffs has so much natural flow that’s it reminiscent of an intentional flow trail, except that it was created before intentional flow trails were a thing. Red Cliffs is popular with all kinds of trail users, though, and sees heavy traffic, so don’t get carried away. Red Cliffs is often connected with Kestral for a run or a short bike ride, and with Hulls or Sidewinder for a longer trip.

Totally dry yesterday, the trail is in great condition.
Accessed Red Cliffs from Vince’s Driveway yesterday at lunch and there were only a few puddles, there were dry lines the whole way
As of 3/7, Kestrel was dry from the bottom to the V. Left side of the V had long stretches of mud and rider ruts/footprints.
Dry, maybe one puddle. Done as an ascent, seemed slightly loose but good
Still muddy, especially after the first third. Turned around….
Should be avoided as of 1/17/18
