Wow, those tress are amazing. In some of your older pictures of the trail, I didn't realize how large the trees were. Now that they're down and you can see the sawed off trunks... You get a better idea of how tall and how old the tress were that fell. Shoot, you could saw off a "small" cut from one of the tress and make a breakfast table top!
That section was almost mature timber, some of it probably would have been logged in the next few years... I think they'll probably go through and recover what they can of what went down. I think this summer's riding will be a little different than past years, lots of logging activity going on!
