Did Larch Mtn., this report is about the section from Wahkeena junction south starting with the nice new bridge that replaced the one destroyed - new one is longer, wider.

Some patches of blowdown and a small amount of tread problems but mostly passable. Maybe 6-7 patches of blowdown some harder to bypass because of smaller trees with lots of branches.

Lots of standing dead trees that will be crashing down for years to come. How long will it take for the fire killed dead trees to start falling?

Horsetail Ridge and the ridge hosting Rock of Ages Trail. Lots of dead trees, I wish I could live long enough to travel those ridges once the trees fall and views open up.
