Trail was in good shape, but very dry with no water flowing. This was great because my last trip wafer was flowing and had to ride out after 1" of rain and hail and wet sand and mud at 38 deg, was almost life threatening and Only issue was overgrown vegetation, cats claw was terrible, next time need to bring clippers...
