 Getting overgrown, especially the second half of the trail. Saw a forest service employee at the trailhead who said they’d try to get it brushed...

 Pusher got a makeover. New trail work in the middle section is super fun. Lower section is caught in a freeze/thaw and is super slick/mushy

        Flat on top part...with 2 small jumps. Nice views of the valley. Really fun dry playful dirt once it tilts downward. A few steeper sections on the lower part.

        We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
