As of June 27,2010 15 mile is not cleared even 100 yards out of the parking lot although 456 back to 450 and the Eight Mile-Knebel loop is clear.
Rode it Sept 13th, four trees to climb around now. A great 10.2 mile loop from 15 mile campground, or a longer lollipop from bottle prairie.
Rode it from the Bottle Prarie TH, yesterday (Fri, 7/10). Trail is in great shape. One log over the trail, clear otherwise. Still one of the most beautiful and remote trails in HR area. Suggest riding it in a counter-clockwise direction–no pushing required on the climb.
My garmin shows just under 21 miles total, round trip, from Bottle Prarie.
Fifteenmile is open and clear of blowdown.
