I was hiking up Natural High when I came to a somewhat gruesome sight here:

down below this bridge (to the right in the picture) it looked like someone had had a bad tumble. The rocks in the creek bed were covered in blood, alot of blood.

Does anyone know what happened?

How difficult would you guys rate this trail?

It's rated blue, with optional black diamond lines.

Hope the rider was OK. Other than Floppy Bunny and Griffen, it[HTML_REMOVED]#8217;s probably the easiest trail on Fromme. It[HTML_REMOVED]#8217;s a great trail to learn on because it has a bit of everything; small drops, tight corners, ladder bridges and with the exception of one bridge there is usually minimal consequences.

Does the NSMBA supply bags for blood donors or should we bring them in our pack?

Camelback should make a bladder with an IV attachment.

Hoping it was an animal (not that it's demise is a very nice thing either though) and not a rider.
