The long awaited opening of the Sage Hills Trails in the Wenatchee Foothills is here. Each year, these trails close in December to provide mule deer winter habitat without human influence. As hard as it is for us all to wait, the Chelan-Douglas Land Trust wants to remind everyone that even if March starts to feel warm and spring like, April 1st is opening day for all foothills trails north of fifth street except the new Homestead Trail at Horse Lake, which opens May 1st.
