A once pretty trail has been devastated by clear cutting for a gas pipeline, but continued construction is tied up in the courts.

Descending westbound from Sidling Hill with Walker Mountain in the background.
Looking eastbound near the summit of Sideling Hill.
Eastern end of Sam Judd Ramsey Trail marked by red spray paint on trees. This photo looks west from outside the National Forest boundary. The trail east of this point does not exist.
If coming from the crest of Walker Mountain to the SJ Ramsey Trail, Ramsey is very difficult to find without a GPS. This photo shows a tree marking the start of the trail - it is the only marking.
Photo taken near the top of Walker Mountain on its eastern slope. Prolific blazing helps hikers follow the general direction of the Backdraft Trail, but it is accurate to state that no real trail exists here.
The condition of the trail on the western slope of Walker Mountain is much better than what is found on the eastern slope.
