Trail conditions were dry and overgrown. It does not appear that the trail was cleared this year. Lots of trees down, especially near the start. Many sticks on the trail. The sections where you have to ride in the FSR were dry and loose. It is rideable but you need to get off your bike a lot and watch closely for where the trail goes.
