      Trail is mostly clear but heavily overgrown for more than half. 3 trees/large branches down. Super unfortunate, this trail could be an amazing alternative to taking the 651 up and around.

      The trails is not usable, it needs to be restored to enable riders to make an easier self shuttle loop specially if your camping at rhe area.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
