Getting back into riding regularly after a long time away (bike is a 2006 to give you an idea). I've ridden the Gambrill yellow trail a few times lately but was curious about the Watershed. Always rode on the aggressive side of XC, never really freeride.
Back when I raced and rode a lot from 2000 to 2011 or so, I'd always avoid the watershed because of the (seemingly confirmed) rumors of booby traps on the trail (nails, fishing wire/hooks, etc.). I wasn't on MTBR at the time... mostly Ridemonkey back when it was in it's prime. I don't see any mention of it here since 2017 and I see a lot of people on bikes and hiking there... safe to guess that it's been a while since there was an issue?
Not going to talk about trails here because I know better... but any sensitive areas to keep away from? I remember something about a rattlesnake habitat that was sensitive. I always avoid using trails in hunting areas on hunting days, and will wear blaze orange anywhere near hunting areas in season, so I've got that one covered.
