Default Naches trail - lower section

Anyone run this yet this season? Some salesman from enumclaw jeep told my brother its in bad shape and impossible to run right now without damage.

Is this true? Is it F'd up?

I have. We were there during the PNW4WDA Trail Jamboree and many people came away with damage to doors and broken windows, but many did not.
It's heavily rutted and you cannot avoid sliding into the right side if going uphill and there are several exposed roots right at the door/window level.
On a dry day you might have less risk of damage, but with rain and mud the risk rises significantly.

Now, if you run without doors and top and have wheels extending way past your body, you might be fine.

I've seen damage from there recently too, from a couple I ran another trail with last week.
