      I "rode" this trail this past weekend and it was a mess. heavy damage due to moto use, large loose boulders and rocks of all sizes, steep, basically unrideable (I did have a loaded bikepack rig, but still). Rode it in north to south direction and the first mile or so wasn't bad, the big climb up to treeline was a disaster. Once above treeline the trail was very well maintained and wide enough for an ATV (ATVs are also allowed on the southern half of the trail). The views were nice (see photos), but i will never again ride this trail.
