We were up there too today, and I would say at least this many. Numerous sections where one must hike through the woods to regain the trail. Great day with interesting weather!zdero1 wrote:That's wonderful news! I was thinking of postponing the combo unti next season! Now hopefully they can get to work on the Harvard/Columbia standard route. The trail from N. Cottonwood Creek is awful. Climbed Harvard today probably about 30-40 trees obstructing the trail.

FS cleared all downed trees over the trail? I humbly bow down. My respect for the FS just went up exponentially. Hats off to those involved.

Touche. I haven't been up that way, but hope to soon. From the sounds of it, A big THANK YOU is deserved for all those involved in a lot of hard trail clearing work!Hunter wrote:FS cleared all downed trees over the trail? I humbly bow down.
