Trail Damage - Path to Footbridge

Trail Damage on Path to Footbridge Click image for 1024x768 view


The trail up to the footbridge was damaged in more than one spot. The foreground area is certainly passable though clearly not in the best of shape. Further up you can see the chain rail dangling into the gorge. Whether there's a post missing wasn't evident when I saw it. And up near the top there's another busted-off post and dangling chain.

This part of the trail is under a large rock overhang and so much, if not all, of the damage I expect came from fall ice during the winter. Though I don't imagine things were helped by the high water either.
