I was thinking of shuttling San Juan trail from Blue Jay with my kids (15 yo, 11 yo, 10 yo). My kids have decent bikes and some experience. For comparison, they have ridden Thunder Mountain, Bunker Creek, and JEM trail in Utah, though they certainly had to walk some sections on those trails. They aren't shredders, but also not complete newbs. Would San Juan be okay for them or would it be too crazy? I have ridden San Juan, but it was probably 10 years ago so I just don't remember very well how technical/exposed the downhill is.
Also, I read elsewhere that there were tons of downed trees up there last month. Has anyone ridden the trail recently? Are downed trees still a big problem?
