Pretty brutal/ice mud on both the up and down. Lots of hiker holes destroyed the trail I’m not going to bother riding it again until it snows.

Trail is in good shape for fat biking from parking lot to Disconnect but is a tough slog after that; too much soft snow, not enough bikes have compressed it down. Lots of pushing especially on the west half. Trail gets better once crossing Reconnect and Braggin’ Rights.
