Found Middle vanilla to be in rough shape. Lots of pot holes on areas that look like it used to be smooth. Maybe drying out and degrading quicker now that it's in a clear cut, taking the sun all day. Recommend finding your way to Blue Collar Upper after finishing Old Vanilla instead of continue the vanilla's.

Note extensive logging as you meet even lower vanilla. It’s all clear cut.

Such a fast and fun trail! At the bottom take a right and take Short Line to Blue Collar.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
