      Trail is very passable now. The 8’ tall weeds I posted about back in May died off over the summer and fall. Clean run that gets you to the ranch side and on to the fire road to Sheep Corral.

      This trail is totally overgrown, especially to Palo Comado. Just about impossible to get through. Avoid at all costs.

      If this is the trail I just went up to the ridge, absolutely not a green. Definitely a blue.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
