Google maps are as useful as the warranty on my Zenith.
I don’t believe area was ever logged or trail was overgrown, it was just never a real trail, a google invention.
Guy went down a steep slope and got stuck, couldn’t go up or down. Vancouver area trails are easy to access as roads or gondolas go up 3 different mountains on edge of urban area, to parking lots and visitor centers, and trails spread out from open areas, over a plateau but one deeply indented by ravines. Forest cover is spotty on plateau but dense in ravines, never logged out. Trails are well marked and nobody needs to be fooled by google pretend trails. But once you commit to one and get too far in, it can be difficult to reverse up a slope.
