As for the trail closure... there is a sign posted on a tree and remnants of caution tape hanging up. Sign says it was closed for safety reasons, signed in whatever county and another telling you not to go any farther. Yeah, 8 was a fun trail. I was suprised to see a shiny new barrier in front of slick rock trail. Easy trails are dwindling fast. 3,4,5,6 are about it. 3 deadends, so our June ride should be interesting for those who want to do easier trails. Man, I wish I could get back there tommorrow! I had a blast! I want to check out lower 2 this next trip. That and slick rock are the only trails I have not tried.
