While the leaves on the ground help, the trail is too much in the shade and it is wet and slippery though fairly firm. It's not worth how much mud you will pick up on your tires and fling onto your bike. Best to avoid, probably for the season unless we get a long dry and mild streak.

Dry to damp with heavy muddy areas in low spots. Easy to ride or walk around these areas though.

They have recently closed the parallel trail, Yellow Fork, diverting all traffic to Dan's Hill. They have widened Dan's a bit, but with all the traffic, it is chiefly moon dust.
