I did not take mine when we went up there last month, as the unit was not functioning properly that day.

The realignment is partially complete. We walked along a portion of the trail still under construction, a big looping switchback above Boot Canyon. A second, sweeping switchback is complete. These exist along the middle portion of the old route (the part which charges straight up a wash), forming what will ultimately be a large Z (in place of a |). The rest of the route appears unchanged.
