Monroe Truck Trail?

[chupacabra]

Anyone been up Monroe Truck Trail since the big rains? I walked a bit of it yesterday, even though there were some wash outs most of the beginning is ridable. I only went to the second creek crossing.
Do you know if the rest is mostly ridable?

It had a lot of water in it, but I'm sure it's gone back down. The creek bed was a little trickier than normal, but not unrideable.

I can now answer my own question.
If anyone's interested:
The trail in the canyon is mostly in take. The stream crossings are definitely more challenging. Most are still rideable. One section is a total wash-out/hike-a-bike.
Once out of the canyon the trail is in good shape. There is a section with some pretty significant ruts above the first lookout, just stay to the side of the trail and your okay. There is also a few big rocks that have come down that you need to look out for.
I only made it to the last of the Southern Lookouts, above that your on your own. If your shuttling, slow down a bit there are some unexpected obstacles and washouts.

Rode dowwn from gmr on wed... a bit soggy the first .5mi but after that it was descent I did stop a couple of times to clear some rather large rocks that made anything but walking out of the question. other than that... good stuff. Yea the low end of the trail is a wreck... I did getme some wet feet It should be better as each day passes though, No?

I think most of the trail will take care of itself with time. The one totally blown out section near the bottom is gonna need some TLC to be rideable, at least on the ride up. Its amazing how much easier it all becomes on the way down.
