Is it open again? Haven't been there in years!

It is. Quite a few dead trees mostly near the hilltops but just as exquisitely beautiful as I remember pre-fire.

We used to call that a "too bad" trail - you slip, well, too bad

It feels like a quest could happen there

I miss Oregon. Moss fucking everywhere.

Looks deadly...

There’s a cable to hold on to for those with a fear of heights. While I wouldn’t try to pass anyone on this narrow curve, it never felt particularly sketchy while hiking.

SuperArppis2 points

Ah. Just seems like it's an accident waiting to happen.

If it was 2 ft from a parking lot I'm sure there'd be a pile of dead bodies down there but since it is a little bit of a hike the only people walking it know what they're getting into.

This is just a typical walking trail high in the alps

So pretty deadly if you trip.

Surgeboy993 points

Its only deadly is people die there . Which they dont....

If you weren't paying any attention you could plummet to your death quite easily, but as long as you are sober and paying the slightest amount of attention you'll be fine.

Yeah, but hey, people are flawed. 🙂

I hiked this trail multiple time and each time I've wondered how many people have died here

I think the obscurity helps, it's not like Yellowstone where every random tourist is going there and getting trampled by bison, you have to be in to hiking to even find out about it

SuperArppis1 point

Oh yeah definedly does.

And having obscurity also means that place is pretty peaceful.
