Difficulty

Typically suitable for high clearance 2WD

This trail is rated Easy (level 2), typically suitable for high clearance 2WD vehicles. Stock equipment is sufficient, but the surface will likely test tire traction and ground clearance. Expect dirt or rocky road with obstacles under 9 inches, such as rocks, dips or ruts. Any steep sections should have good traction. The road is typically unmaintained after rain or snow, and shallow water crossings or small ledges under 12 inches are possible. Roads are typically one to two vehicles wide. The driver's log has no notes on specific obstacles, so nothing beyond the level's general limits is called out.

Terrain

The road is dirt with rocky sections. It lies within the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, in high country where the surface can change after rain or snow.
