This report is just from Grindstone to 145. Moto section between Gold Run and Grindstone in excellent shape. No sign of thistles in the meadows. Very brushy wherever the trail gets close to the creek - gaitors would be nice. Very Dryview

NFS Trail Crew and moto riders have cleared most of the downed trees. A couple small ones remain near the bottom. There is a hazard immediately down trail from the large aspen ramped for moto passage - another huge aspen is broken off across the trail and the trail now goes between it and a standing tree. At this constriction the width is quite narrow and wider MTB handlebars will likely not fit if you try to ride it. My 540mm bars from 2008 just barely fit! Very Dryview

A few more aspens down. One tree in pungee mode before you get to the high meadow - recommend check your speed until this is cut out. Idealview

About 1 mile downstream of the Gold Run bridge there is a large pine tree that broke off across trail. Fairly difficult to get past due to trail on side slope and lots of dense branches. Idealview

One giant aspen down across trail. Moto riders have ramped it on both sides so not hard to cross it. Grindstone doesn't seem to have as much water damage from recent rains as other Rico area trails. Idealview

Upper section from Sharkstooth to Grindstone has about 18 trees down. Some fairly large. The nice hiker/biker bridge over Bear Creek in this section is broken down (maybe for some time - see photo). Middle moto section from Grindstone to Gold Run is fantastic. Lower section has a few trees down (new in the last couple weeks) and the one medium boulder that landed on the trail. Need a couple big rock bars to get that boulder off - easy to ride over or around now though. Idealview

Now about 30-40 trees across the trail. Maybe 5 or so 18" or greater diameter. No snow in sight, but recent rains this past week mean the trail between Hillside Connector and the first huge meadow is pretty soggy. Wetview
