 There are trees down across the trail everywhere. Some have reroutes, but most do not. In places they are only 50-100 yards apart.

      Cleared a few trees off the trail but it’s grown in pretty bad. Deer were bed down all around the trail so I’d go with it doesn’t get a lot of traffic. Definitely a technical cool trail. Due to being grown up and washed out I’d classify it as a green to blue.
