Trail was in expected shape with a bit more water than usual due to consistent afternoon rain showers. We spots near obstacles made them a bit more difficult than in dry conditions. Expect to slide off rocks and ledges and lose traction frequently. JLUR with 3” lift and 35” A/T Nitto tires made the trail without assistance or winching. Fall colors starting to appear.

Lot’s of people. It took 9 hours today because of a big group with lots of mechanical issues.

Not sure why it was reported closed for trail restoration. Difficult obstacles for side by sides and I'll equipped vehicles
