 Flooded in multiple spots! Had to bushwhack to make it through, at night too, which was tricky. Needs some serious rerouting or risk getting meet...

      Literally the worst trail in HP. It’s always under water and boring. This is not a black diamond, it is a shallow marsh of a green. Avoid it

      Usually wet all year round, avoid if you can.
