      This trail is RUINED. Death rattles like I’ve never had them before. Some sections are in such bad shape that I wondered how someone rode a horse on the trail, then I found out the Twisted Fork Festival was on a rainy weekend this year. What a shame

      Big thanks to the race director that didnt call off the runners. They trampled this pristine trail and its now ruin for the year. Looks like a group of wild clydesdales were on the trail. So sad.

      Climb up via Glenwild & Cobblestone was 99% dry and good to go. However, the DH (west?) side still had a foot of snow and several downed trees in just the 1st half mile. I turned back and went to Preserve Connector instead which was in great shape.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
