 | Comments: |
All trails are in good shape. The lower ledges on Blueberry Ledge Trail were a bit slippery from rains overnight. The Steep ledges were dry and easily managed. Rollins trail had a few minor muddy spots but nothing to be concerned with. Dicey Mill Trail was a nice easy cruise out at the end of the trip. Excellent trail work being done in this area. |
