Status Reports

Clearly defined trail, a few spots with over grown shrubbery, one wash out that created a tire hanging event for a few jeeps that did not track over rock fill. After a climb at 21 % there is a sharp right turn. Don’t cut it to tight or you will drop your rear tire off the rock ledge to the trail. Recommend using a spotter. Good trail with one off camber spot.

Lots of washouts and exposed rock. For a green trail it was rougher than the pope mine trail which is blue
