How did you use the trail?: Hiking
What was the time of day?: Late morning
Duration (Hours): 2
Miles: 4
Condition of trails: The trails were in great shape considering that the snow pack had just thawed. The trail is 97% free of snow, ice, and mud. Some trail angel had blown the leaves, and did a great job, not cutting any turns. Thank you! If you are looking for someplace to ride without damaging the trail, this is the place. I would have ridden if I had known. Instead, I brought the dog, a ski pole ( in case of tough footing), and the hand saw. I cut several blow downs ( see picture) and also removed a fair amout of brush, some left by a human ( this has been ongoing- it is human work- always at a right angle to the trail, and with saw cuts on the branches) and some left by mother nature. The trail is compacting nicely. It can take up to a year for the soil to compact after cutting a trail, depending on the soil type and usage.
