Some neat feature (stairs ), trail ownership has switched and maintenance has declined. Fun trails when looked after
| ThankRode it today, main trail wasn't bad but it looked like there hadn't been anyone on the outer trails in years. There were a lot of fallen trees and over grown bush on the 4&5 diamond trails. Spent a lot of time figuring out if I was on a trail or lost in the woods. Some decent climbs.

There were a lot of fallen trees and over grown bush and the 4&5 diamond trails weren't easy to figure out where to go, several times I found myself lost or trying to figure out if that is a trail or not. With some tlc it could be ok.
