Trail was in very good shape. It is apparent that it has been logged and cleaned up after the 2013 Silver fire.
There were 4 or 5 dead falls to navigate around but nothing too difficult. The tread was in really good shape and not much erosion to speak of which surprised me. Typically burned trails tend to struggle with erosion, however the post fire vegetation has taken a good hold and stabilized the soil.

I really enjoyed the views from this trail. Good views of the Rio Grande Valley, the Chino Mine, as well as North and South down the Black Range. After navigating around Cross-o mountain I came out of the burned section. The remainder of the hike was in old growth comprised mostly of pine and ponderosa pine.
