Observations & Encounters: 18 degrees and minus 3 degrees with the wind chill, no problem if you are properly dressed for it. The Waldo Trail is awesome! Paula should be extremely proud of this trail. It reminds me of Grayville.




At the end of the lower section, past the Hunter's trail there was a tremendous blow down right before the little bridge.


Spent a few minutes clearing the branches to open the trail.

And then rode through and across the skinny bridge.

The Waldo Trail is in remarkable shape considering all the rain and snow melt we recently had. This is a great example of a sustainable trail!
