    Rode it today and it’s looking good. There’s a couple sketchy, loose, you fall you die sections. I dismounted and walked across those. Didn’t feel sketchy on foot.

    Rode it 5/16. Yeah the first sluff/sutter wall section is a bit sketchy but not terrible. On the backside just before dropping into the meadow there is a small rockslide across the trail that affects about 10ft of trail at a pinch point where the trail drops down steeply. Then soon after there is a spot where the trail has become ledged across a steep side slope. I got off and walked these two spots as well. Other than that the trail is in great shape with no downed trees. Be aware, the Gab to close the loop is very overgrown with lots of PO.
