Description:
Rode just the bottom 2 miles worth. Good condition besides some heavy brush towards the very bottom and a few down branches and trees.
On another note, the entrance on traforks is wrong. Newly constructed, likely by the Backcountry Horsemen Group, the trailhead can be found besides hwy 12 at 46.53360, -121.83736.
Those initial switchbacks are steep and poorly constructed. Actually much of the original benchcut for the first mile or so will need to be redone at some point. Too narrow for horses. I saw many places where one rider was constantly battling to stay on track. MTN bikers and hikers will have no problem though!
I look forward to riding the rest when the other end melts out!
