@cresendocycling, thanks for moving those! I rode this trail like two days later and it is still a super rad and beautiful area. Make sure to have some knobby tires though!!

Rode this 2 days ago. There were several branches and logs that had been pulled over the trail in very dangerous spots. 100% intentional. I cleared all of them off the trail so it should be safe to ride now.
This is a super fun trail when there are no debris, but definitely not a double black. Be safe out there!

Rode this trail over 4th of July weekend and there were about ten spots where logs/sticks/stumps had been dragged across the trail. It appeared intentional and not the result of blowdown or lack of use. I'm not from the area so I'm not sure if there are hiker/biker/moto battles being fought but it felt like an attempt to slow or potentially injure mtb users. Super fun trail once we cleared the way!
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
