Trail was open, dusty with small patches of sand here and there. Several small water run off crossings 6-8 inches deep. Most brush and trees burned from prior fire.

First time gates were open and did the full trail where we saw the aftermath from the fires but overall lovely day out with the fam exiting in angelus oaks through the Clarke summit exit by highway 38.

For Labor Day weekend, was nice and easy. Some spots were really rocky but nothing to be concerned about. It was a good weekend.
