The trail is nothing like before. Plenty of rocks to give a concussion if you fall hard. Most happened while maneuvering turns and tires DUG into deep sand. It's amazing to see what EL NINO rains can do to a trail. I would reccommend this trail for only the Advanced and Expert.
Intermediate riders can also try, just take it slow.
One recommendation is to leave your bike at home and strap on some hiking boots. The creek in the canyon sounded like a river with rapids. If you go though, you better like water. This trail is as good as its been in years. Go right now if you are man or woman enough to do it.
