Kestral is a beginner trail, but it’s also a semi-steep little grunt. The pain is short, though, and before you know it you’re on Crestline. Kestral is wide, heavily-used (often looped with Red Cliffs) and prone to mud in the spring. It’s popular with all kinds of trail users.

Kestral had a couple spots that were still drying out but overall excellent!

Kestral has pretty much dried out at this point.
Ran in to mud as soon as the trail started ascending, and turned around.
Didn’t make it too far, but sure looked muddy this afternoon near the trail head.
