Previous comment should be ignored. Easy to follow, trail is developing again nicely. No need to even pull up Trailforks to follow.

Navigation skills come in handy. Trail is not marked except for the occasional wood branches purposely placed on the ground to give some indication of which way to go. Trail sees little use so worn track is often not visible.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
