Active falling half way down the trail. 3+ large trees down. Currently the entrance is not closed but lower half is basically un-ridable and likely permanently closed due to the development.

Correction - it is not clear whether this trail will be "taken out" but it is within the development area to be managed and may or may not remain. See section 9.5 of the Draft Area Development Plan.
alexcameron
This is one of a number of amazing and very historic trails at Cypress on the chopping block now as they are planning residential development in this area. Trails that would be taken out include Roach Hit, Wutang, Nutang, Wutang Alt Exit, Lower Tall Cans, Trunk Monkey, Sex Girl, and Single Lane Traffic. Make your views known to West Van. See Figure 4F in the Draft Area Development Plan: https://www.westvancouverite.ca/upperlands.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
