Rode today, certain spots semi washed out but an awesome, steep and technical trail. Definitely more pucker factor than wallternator. Dont speed into some of those turns or you could end up sliding all the way to 89. This trail would be one of the best in the area with a little rain and shovel love!

Does anyone ride this anymore or is Wallternate/Western States preferred on the descent?

Trail still sees traffic - see Ridelogs tab, Strava segment. Wallternate -> WST is greatly preferred in both directions.

Just rode it today, fun trail. No too techy. Didn't see any tracks but the ones I was making. Highly recommended.
