 Subpar (2) - Quite a few stubborn mud patches towards the bottom. And lots of face level branches that need to be cut back.

 reporter (3) The descent is running well but the climb out could use some work to fill in holes that developed when everything was wet and muddy.

      This is a steep, loose, rutted and technical trail. It is natural - reminds me of Cougar Ridge - with some great viewing spots through the trees. Some sections are a little intense for me but overall it is a classic!

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
