| Comments: |
Roads in this area got hit hard Thursday/Friday. Expected to find much worse but the trails held up fairly well with minor erosion issues. Saw took a ride except for the one time used Sunday. Much busier on Saturday with lots of hikers taking to the sides of the trails due to very wet trails. Waterproof boots will get one down the middle of trail no problem. Ridge Tr. much wetter than Fire Tower Tr. and although Ridge Tr. is much newer trail; it's showing a lot more maintenance issues than the (older than I am) Fire Tower Tr.. |
