That was my general feeling - until I suddenly encountered an undercut bank (on another Irene-damaged trail). It would have been very easy to take a ten foot tumble into the rocky stream bed below. The existing trail led right to the edge, yet the drop wasn't visible until I was right on top of it. Bushwacking around the edge was also hazardous, because the vertical drop was completely disguised by brush. It was different than any stream-side conditions I've previously encountered in the White's. So I now have some respect and appreciation for the decision to formally close the Dry River Trail.How much worse could it be than any other gnarly bushwhack partially following an active drainage?
