      South side of the trail connecting to miner’s basin is in good shape and seems to be more frequently maintained

      Hiked this as part of the Trans La Sal trail. There are were at least 100 downed trees along the whole length so expect lots of hopping and skirting around logs. Views are great towards the top though
