Trail was in decent shape generally. There's a few spots it could be better marked and there are around 5-6 trees down across the trail. All the fallen trees clearly pre-date the recent Fed. Gov shutdown. None the less, all are passable by either going over, under, or around. Being fall and some recent rain, there were a few soft spots, but nothing major.
