One year some flooding did knock out a trestle for almost a year, but they had a detour.
Bottom line, don't worry about it, although if you go when it's been very wet, things may get a bit soupy.
Rogergeorge I have a question. I guess the big draw is for people to get a van ride to the top of the trail and coast back down. I want to peddle up on my own starting in Damascus but I am not sure how hard it is to pedal up it. I know a lot of people can do it in their sleep but I don't fit that category. Can you give me your thoughts please Thanks
