The west side of the trail, which I took uphill is fine. But from the highest point on it is very overgrown with partly ligneous vegetation, so no fun to ride.
And to find the last part towards the bottom of the canyon with the creek is almost impossible if you don't have a GPS.
The trail along the creek is also not visible well, especially at the point where you have to leave the creek again.
It was no fun, maybe the trail will be rebuilt at a point in time, but as of January 2012 is in no condition for a fun ride!

Not worth it unless you are a complete beginner. It's a wide, flat, sandy fire road. It was a decent ride before the fire a couple years ago but now it's no fun. Plus it's closed off after a certain point. It has some nice long creek crossings and the scenery is nice in the canyon, but i decided to see what kind of shape it was in a couple months ago and fighting all the sand and flatness just took all the fun out of it for me.
