Battle Ax Mountain Trail #3340 also some issues. There are some brushy spots, but the main issue is where the tread is sliding down the mountain.
And finally, the stretch of old road east of Beachie Saddle is pretty bad. Some stretches are so eroded that you have to walk in the "streambed" that's been carved out. At least in the spot pictured below there's a sort of bank to walk along, but it wasn't like that in other places.
Considering how often the Opal Creek Center brings groups up there I was surprised to find things in such bad shape. But I don't think they don't do any maintenance themselves, and I'm guessing the horrible road access keeps crews out of this area.
