Date Hiked: September 8, 2013
General Condition: Clear (no obstacles and tread well defined)
The Cutoff Trail is in fine shape, the best it has been in many years. There is some brush near the top, as you start down the canyon. But this brush is just closing in, and isn't actually touching you, yet. At the section where the trail crosses a cliff, and you have a view of a waterfall (dry at this time), there was a rockslide that took out about 15 feet of tread. This has been repaired, kind of. The tread isn't quite right, and hopefully the whole section won't end up in the bottom of the canyon after winter rains. There are patches of poison oak here and there, but mostly you can avoid touching it if you're careful.
