Trail was open when I went on 6/30. The dirt felt good after drying out from the rain.

      The 2024 reroute and added features are great. Although the two lower drops are bypass-able, if you do commit to them I would say this trail is now a double black.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
