 No tree down now but hard to see the trail through the leaves in places.

 Small tree down. Hand saw-able. Too heavy for my old back.

      Love this trail. Narrow bars have quite the advantage in here. Tight and Twisty. Great space to session some Skills. Kudos to the trail builders in here!

      Very confusing and poorly marked trail. Exit doesn’t seem to connect to anything.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
