Good Morning All,
Ralph Tabor informs me, that as of yesterday (Thursday) afternoon, the

Henslows Sparrow nested. In short, all trails at the Shawangunk Grasslands are
now opened to foot traffic. Please res
Just to add to Curt's comment.
The entire Blue Trail (northern) loop should be passable.

become more active.
