Difficulty
Typically suitable for high clearance 2WD
This trail is rated level 2, Easy. It is typically suitable for a high clearance 2WD vehicle. Stock equipment is sufficient, but the terrain can test tire traction and ground clearance. Expect dirt or rocky road with dips, ruts and rocks under about 9 inches, and possible shallow water or small ledges under 12 inches. The road is typically unmaintained after rain or snow. The log marks a level 2 hard spot at waypoint 2, which is a rut or dip. Near the end, the log says the washes are fine for high clearance two-wheel drive on a dry day, but after any rain or wet conditions you will want four-wheel drive.
Terrain
The road is a dirt track that crosses two washes near its northern end. The log identifies one of them as the deepest. The surface in the washes can change with weather, and the track is generally one to two vehicles wide.
