Unable to find the connection to this track from the Mt Baker track. It appears to be overgrown. Does this track still exist?

      Unridable at the moment. Extremely overgrown and lost the trail 1km in from the top. Gorse is impossible to avoid as you get further down and i think a slip some time ago has claimed part of the trail. Will need a bulldozer to clear a track. Gutted as the views are spectacular on the uphill side has the potential to great trail.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
