In the video I have a feeling that the original was edited to increase the speed.
Just sayin…

Can't find very good info online but apparently a new pedestrian bridge is in the planning stages for 2017/2018.

Thanks for the info!

Couple months ago I met a runner on Bottle Top near Lizard Lake. She was coming up the trail so I asked her how did she do that. She said there's ways to get past the gates. So I decided last weekend to see for myself.
One way is to go over the gate, but you have to stand on the wooden fence which is slippery. And you need long legs.
Another is to go around the gate on the faint trail uphill from the road, made by other people. That's what I did, not too difficult. Dragging a bike with you would be harder. I didn't bring the bike.

Next issue is to find the bottom of BT. I knew where it should be, but it's no longer obvious. Was wet there and water running out, as if a creek. Found it after seeing the rock work. Otherwise BT is in good shape.
See here for map.

Higher up I could see more of the landslides below the trail. Made me think that being on the trail after wet weather was not the best time to be there, due to the potential for more slides. If you go, wait for after a long period of no rain.

As for meeting anyone else, no one else. If LSCR wanted to really keep you out, they would post guards at least during daylight hours. Furthermore, the proposed relocation of Fisherman's Trail (east side) is on the same slopes. So the slopes as they are now should be OK, even though the reason for closing this section of road and BT was supposed to be safety from possible slope failure. Maybe LSCR also wants to keep you from jumping in the new lake. Now that could be fatal.

Bears seen on Cambodia, on the level section about halfway down. Adult bear and one, perhaps two young cubs. Walking slowly south towards lower tnt and neds. Also last week saw a large recent bear scat on a nearby trail, probably from the same adult.

when people have put in their own time to create something that others will benefit from, then the decision making should fall to the builder.

For sure there are many riders who don't know the builders, and don't know that they should generally leave the trail as is, so can't be blamed for whatever "improvement" they might do to a trail.
Not everyone knows about nsmb, trailforks, even the nsmba.

Very interesting article, all the details of that area and more. And it seems nothing is going to change there. No one is talking. And I'm staying out of that area after reading the parts about UXOs! Even the dumping of contaminated soil into the creeks is bad.

note that DNV council member Robin Hicks sits on the utilities committee which oversees the LSCR.

The dnv link is not working anymore.
But thanks for the info.

sounds like it's a legit trail if it's on their maps. guess they just didn't want the wood work in but good to ride otherwise?

Looked OK to me when I was on it a week ago. If you are up to it. Too advanced for me.

But on the section of trail parallel near Boulder Creek, that's where there's two main bridges that have been destroyed intentionally by LSCR staff. I've already mentioned this in a previous post.

See a reply to this previous post here.

Metro even has a map on their site that shows the bottom of the trail:

Yep, saw that map a while back. All I had to do was hike up that trail, which I had been on before several times over the years. But there's some confusion as you get higher.

There's probably a map on trailforks too.

Anyway, by process of elimination there are not many options.

Good job I took a screen shot of that post before it was deleted!!
Im off exploring this weekend :-)

Sure… Nobody said what I wrote was correct. I don't know either.
Maybe Google had time to cache it too. Maybe even Internet Archive.

Correct, see #7: http://bb.nsmb.com/showthread.php?t=57125

OK sorry, have to read the posting rules…

How about I delete my OP and D(C) deletes his and maybe you delete yours and then we will be happy. If we can do such deletion? How about one of you PM me with an answer I'll keep off the board?
