This trail is closed for the foreseeable future due to land slide
idahoriversrat
The trail is open right before the rock slide. The trail does not get any maintenance. As a rest, the trail has rocks, tree branches, pot holes, and missing trail. This down in the canyon that connects to the East Rim Trail.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
