Difficulty
Typically suitable for high clearance 2WD
This is a Level 2 (Easy) trail, typically suitable for high clearance 2WD. Stock equipment is sufficient, but the terrain will likely test tire traction and ground clearance. Expect dirt or rocky road with dips, ruts and rocks under 9 inches, and possibly small ledges under 12 inches. The road is usually unmaintained after rain or snow and is one to two vehicles wide. The log notes a spot near waypoint 3 that is on the harder end of Level 1. Near waypoint 4 the road reaches Level 2, with ruts on the deep side. The hardest spot is near waypoint 5, where a rut looks about 6 or 7 inches deep, and it can be avoided.
Terrain
The road surface is dirt and gravel. It passes through sage and juniper country.
Highlights
Dispersed camping is available along the route. One site near waypoint 6 holds a small trailer or two small rigs and has little privacy, with short trees offering some shade for short rigs. Another near waypoint 9 is open and fits two or three rigs, but it sits close to a cow pen.
