Difficulty
Typically suitable for high clearance 2WD
This trail is rated Level 2 (Easy), typically suitable for a high clearance 2WD vehicle. Stock equipment is enough, though the surface can test tire traction and ground clearance. Expect dirt and rocky sections with rocks, dips or ruts under about 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 marks two spots of note. The second waypoint is an easier spot, called Level 1 by the driver, on a Level 2 trail, and the third is a hard spot at Level 2. The trail stays at Level 2 overall. Near the fourth waypoint the track narrows because of brush, so longer vehicles may get pinstriped.
