 Builder deserves lifetime of beers. Incredibly difficult terrain to work with and still managed to create a climb out. Type A fun.

      Great trail that provides a couple of options to go down to the river. Well worth the effort to get to it. Thanks to the builders!

      Beautiful work is being done. A walkway is being made on the fallen old growth douglas blocking the path. The frame is made and so are the cedar pieces. Send me a message if anyone wants help getting this finished.
      Wasp warning! Hive is in hole in between two logs on trail.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
