I have read comments about various locations along the trail turning off their water for the winter. I have a map (from this website) showing me where I can get water, but how can I find out which water sources are still available throughout the winter months?

I have updated the website to include all the seasonal closings that I know of. So as you browse through the website or use the "Plan-a-Ride" feature, you'll see "Closed for the season" appear in red for those businesses/services. If anyone is aware of any seasonally closed businesses that are not marked as such on the website, please let me know. Closings mostly include trailhead facilities with running water and bike shops along the trail. Some trail-based businesses also operate on reduced hours in the winter - call ahead to be sure.

SM, if you were using the Plan-a-Ride feature to get water locations, be sure you also check the boxes for the Grocery and Vending options. Most of these will have bottled water or sports drink that you can buy - even if they only have soda, that's better than getting dehydrated.

Good luck!
