Difficulty

Typically suitable for high clearance 2WD

This is an Easy, level 2 trail, typically suitable for a high clearance 2WD vehicle. Stock equipment is sufficient, though the surface will likely test tire traction and ground clearance in places. Expect dirt and rocky road with obstacles under 9 inches, such as rocks, dips and ruts. Some sections can be steep but 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 generally one to two vehicles wide. The driver's log did not call out any specific obstacles.
