The information below is presently on the trail status for the highland trail (Aug 8, 2018). It appears that the trail between Granite Park and Fifty Mountain is open. A tread was cut across the Ahern Drift on July 27, 2018. Lots more melting would have occurred since then. Same goes for the Cattle Queen drift.
