Decision Memo Completed

Minto Pass Trail #3437 Reroutes

Willamette National Forest Marion, Oregon Detroit Ranger District

Sections of trail route are unsustainable. Excessive erosion on overly steep trail grades in burned area soil is causing heavy damage to the trail route. Rerouting these trail sections will create stable tread surface and reduce erosion issues.
