Description:
Heartbreaking report... Neither trail is marked closed by the FOREST CIRCUS. There is an excess of 400 trees blocking the trail with most down within the western burn area. I'm not exaggerating on the number of trees. As I started the ride from shadow bay road clockwise, I was excited to see the first 2 miles of the trail was cleared recently but only to the south shelter. A trail that normally take 3hrs on avg to ride, took me close to 5hrs due to hopping hundreds of trees and thousands of branches and debris in the trail. The trail is blocked at the N. campground, not accessible to continue. It's not worth attempting to ride the trail anytime soon, unless the USFS gets this place cleaned up. Such a beautiful iconic place that has been destroyed by fire the USFS management. Saddened to see this!
