| Trail Maintenance Notes: |
I pulled aside any blowdown I could move below 2000' for an anticipated fun bike ride down the mountain. LOTS of blowdowns along trail.... lower half mile cuts through an overgrown field with no obvious pathway - just straight across. Also, lost the Waternomee Spur but found the waterfalls... where DOES that trail really go? |

I had planned to pull/ride the bike up as far as I could and then bike down. Trail was TOO bony above about 2000' so I locked the bike there and hoofed it up to the summit for some decent/interesting views. Waternomee Falls - underwhelming. The descent on bike was a good test of my brakes - totally whacked - a PAINFUL ride down - amazing what a PAIN a lack of brakes is!!! Still, a nice time!!! |
