Difficulty
Best suited for a high clearance 4x4
Rated Moderate (level 3), this trail suits a stock high clearance 4x4 with off-road tires. Expect uneven, rutted dirt with loose rock and possible sandy or muddy spots. Obstacles such as ledges, drops and short steep grades should stay under 12 inches, and careful tire placement may be needed in places. The road is generally one vehicle wide with places to pass. The driver's log calls out steep or loose sections as the places that need special attention, so take them slowly and keep steady traction.
