Any Trail Condition Updates? Who has been on the Highline Trail?
I was out there on Sunday all day doing some trail clearing. I cut out over 40 trees starting at Washington Park heading West towards Geronimo. I made it about 5 1/2 miles before the chain fell off the chainsaw and I was losing daylight. I ran the rest of the stretch to Geronimo and there had to be at least 40 more trees down across the trail. It is crazy considering I cleared every last tree in that section last year! One of the creek crossings looked like a bomb went off... I couldn't even tell where the trail went when I first go to it. I cut out about 5 trees, trimmed some thorns and added some cairns to make it passable. If someone can get a chainsaw out to that section it would be great, but I'm done this year! Time to rest up.
