 Lots of work done on this trail this season. It's been trimmed and ready to ride.

 Overgrown, but doable on foot. Wheels will struggle. Some good use might make it an awesome trail.

 This is hardly a trail, it's overgrown, eroded and torn up from the cattle.

 Not a legit riding trail. Partially eroded. Sketchy on side of hill. Have to ride slow and careful and some walk sections. I'd prefer to ride down...
