Moderate (level 3) suits a stock, high clearance 4x4 with off-road tires. Expect uneven, rutted dirt with possible loose rock, sandy washes and short steep grades. Obstacles up to about 12 inches, such as ledges or drops, may call for careful tire placement. Water crossings should be under a foot deep, and the road is generally one vehicle wide with places to pass. The log does not call out any specific obstacle on this route.
