Conversations with PGE (property owner) allowed survey work for potential trail route. Survey completed and showed the proposed trail alignment not suitable due to terrain, creek crossing and the high cost to navigate the terrain.

Portions of trail route are in private ownership and when possible discussions will be held with property owners for a potential agreement for trail.
