The trail is too rough for biking. West of the canyon the trail is officially closed and has some steep-sided and dangerous sections. There are multiple windthrown trees that need to be cut, and a 20m section that has slid and needs a new trail cut through. The last few hundred meters to Malcolm Point is very grown in with salal, and it may be better to build new trail further away from the shore than to have to regularly brush out the old trail.
