Progressive edge blur
A band pinned to one edge of a scrolling panel that blurs and fades its content gradually into the background instead of cutting it off at a hard line.

Ridgeline trail report
Ridgeline closed above the second switchback until the crew clears last week's blowdown. Everything below that point is dry and in good shape.
Water is running at the creek crossing near mile 2.4, ankle deep and cold. Bring trekking poles if you are unsteady on wet rock.
The overlook at mile 4 lost its guardrail section to the spring runoff. Stay back from the edge; the crumbling is worse than it looks from the trail.
Rangers report two black bear sightings near the lower meadow this week, both in the early morning. Store food properly at the backcountry sites.
Permit quotas for the north loop reset on the first of the month. Walk-up spots open at the trailhead kiosk starting at 6am on a first-come basis.
Cell service is unreliable past the ridge junction. The emergency phone at the junction shelter is solar powered and tested monthly.
