The Grand Enchantment Trail had record numbers of hikers this spring, despite the terrible drought in the Southwest. We also saw a record number of rescues and premature drop-offs.

The SimBLISSity store will have limited offerings while we move and do some route scouting. If you have already ordered gaiters, they will be going out in the next couple of days. As always, map downloads will still be available.

This past week, we scouted out another section of Brett’s newest hiking route, the Mogollon Rim Trail. Most of it was sub-alpine and water-blessed. Some of it was a blowdown hell that we have to re-evaluate.
