T49 Barber Ridge Trail is not in the 2002 Edition of Trail: Guide: Lincoln National Forest, and I have not hiked it.
The junction of T47 and T49 is 1.8 miles from the junction of T44 and T49.  A posting on the Lincoln National Forest website states t"Open and available for use.  Trail dead-ends at the Crest Trail (T25).  No access to the Crest Trail is currently allowed. "

I have two judgments on T49.  One source says the condition of T49 is "good".  This description in this link is much more negative:   http://www.ruidoso.net/visitors/outdoors/trailheads/threerivers.html.
