Road continues to be in great shape, recent maintenance, easy ride. Many connecting roads, many connecting hiking trails, lots of wildlife. Easy dirt road but very beautiful with much to do!

Nice trail and easy ride that connects to may other FS roads. One highlight is The Army Ranger training camp, Camp Merrill. Sometimes I can get in the gate and visit the tiny PX with my Veteran's ID depending on who is manning the gate and whether or not there is a training session going on at the time.

I was only on this trail for about a third of the distance, from the southern trail head to the start of Winding Stair Gap. Nice easy prelude to the only slightly harder WSG. No problems encountered at all. This could be done in a family car in 2WD easy.

Trail in good shape whole way. Some muddy spots, but no issue if dry conditions. The 28-1 sign at the entrance is gone, so you'll have to just look for the parking signs as pictured below.
