They were logging south of Rim Top Trailhead in
2016, and part of the Rim Lakes Vista Trail became a dirt road leading to a new communications
tower. Now the The Rim Lakes Vista Trail has been re-routed so that it doesn’t go
near the communications tower or the road leading to it. The trail now takes a route eastward
and connects to the old trail farther north.
