Conditions  

	June 29, 2009: The trail is in good shape. We haven't had any reports of the small creeks and streams going dry although we've had very little rain. No fire bans or other conditions to report. Bugs are tapering back nicely although they are probably still fierce in the last 30 miles of the trail. It's been cool and windy so no bug problems with those conditions.
	June 19, 2009: Trail conditions are generally good. There are some reports of bugs being bad on the north 30 miles of the trail and intermittently in other areas so bring good insect repellant and maybe a head net. Still water in the small creeks and streams and no fire advisories.
	June 2, 2009: The trail is drying out nicely from the winter snows. It will still be wet in a few places. The 80 miles of downed trees from the ice storm has all been cleared although you will still find small trees and branches on the trail in places. There are reports of black flies (gnats) and mosquitoes starting up on the warmer days. When it's cold or windy, they are not a problem. No other conditions to report.
	April, 2009: The Fifth Edition of the "Guide to the Superior Hiking Trail, published by us -- the Superior Hiking Trail Association -- continues to be your best source of detailed information about the Superior Hiking Trail. It includes maps, campsite information, water sources, and a mile-by-mile description of the trail from the start of the trail at Lake Co Rd 301 (Fors Rd) in Two Harbors to Otter Lake Rd near the Canadian border. A through-hike of this segment is 205 miles. The Guide also includes the 39 miles of new trail through Duluth built in 2004-2006 (there are no SHT campsites in the Duluth section). The Guide price is $15.95. We also sell a complete set of pocket maps to the trail for $1.95.
