I headed out with WTA on a BCRT Thursday 7/10 - Saturday 7/12 to work on some of this trail. We entered the trail beyond Lebar Horse Camp, go past the yellow gate on NF 2934, I think about 3.5 miles to an unmarked trailhead. The last pit toilet we saw was before Lebar Horse Camp, there were no toilets at the TH we parked at, or at Camp Comfort where we camped at a mile or so in.
Unmarked TH to Camp Comfort: it was under a mile from where we entered to Camp Comfort. There was a stock trail option here, but I took the hiker option in and out. When you come to a trail junction I'd say .8 miles in, there's a sign that says back to forest road, but if you look at the tree across and like 12 ft up, there is a Camp Comfort sign. You have to go over a downed log to go towards Camp Comfort, which also gives you access to the river and there were some good swim spots here. Lots of campsites at Camp Comfort, again no toilets here though.
Trail Work: the group split into two. One of the groups hiked a lil over a mile out and did trail work, I was not part of that group, but from what I heard they brushed, cleaned up the trail, and removed rock that was in the way. I worked in the group closer to Camp Comfort, replacing a curb log that was on a steep tight corner of the trail. On our last day working, the whole group came together to finish up the curb log replacement.
I have hiked different sections of this trail in the past, and would say Camp Comfort was the best spot for river access, since we felt like if you entered at the proper TH, you dont ever get good access to the river.
