SCLT will again close Hidden Hoot Trail and Hoot Loop for calving season

The Sheridan Community Land Trust is alerting the public Hidden Hoot Trail and Hoot Loop will be closed to the public beginning April 1.

SCLT closes this trail loop annually.  The closure eases the stress on animals and people during calving season. SCLT assures the public that Hidden Hoot Trail and Hoot Loop will reopen once calving season concludes. 

While Hidden Hoot Trail and Hoot Loop Trail are closed, SCLT encourages community members to continue enjoying the rest of the beautiful Bighorns backyard. 

Soldier Ridge Trail, Soldier Ridge Bench Trail, The Link, and Kicking Horse Trail remain open to the community. All of these trails can be accessed from the Soldier Ridge Trailhead on the west edge of Sheridan. To find the trailhead, follow the signs from the end of West 5th Street.

Double Eagle Trail, accessible from the Kendrick Municipal Golf Course, and The Green Room Trail at Malcolm Wallop Park are excellent options this spring according to SCLT. 

Red Grade Trails will also remain open. Parking lots and trailheads are located at the base of the Bighorns on State Hwy 335, just before the start of Red Grade Road. 

As more visitors enjoy community trails this season, SCLT reminds the community that pets should be under their control whenever they use the trails and pets must be leashed whenever livestock or wildlife are present.
