Posted Sign
On this trail coming from the north traveling south, there is an immediate right turn. A white sign is posted on a tree after the turn that says the trail is closed, so we went straight. Further done the trail where the loop comes back no sign was posted that said the loop was closed.

The trail was also a 1. I am guessin maybe some of the rating is weather dependent?
