Description:
Most of the trail is very soft and getting extremely trashed. Probably a good time to close it down for the season, before it gets destroyed. Wouldn't have ridden it had I known the condition before riding all the way up. A perfect example of a trail that shouldn't have 50 lb e-bikes on it.

 people definitely need to start taking responsibility for their trail choices in wet weather. Leave it be and go ride some other trails in the valley so DC doesn't get shitkicked into oblivion again after all of Scott's hard work this summer!

 drdetail, I agree. Shut er down for the season and prohibit e-bikes. The trail needs time to regenerate. This trail can not sustain this many riders....
