Trail Overview

This trail can be dusty. Head size sharp rocks on hard pack with occasional tree roots. Trail is roughly a 3 (any 4x4 should make it). Saw Jeeps, SxS, and ATVs on this day. There are a few small drop-offs on the South end of the trail that could be challenging if traveling North. The trail does not go to the true summit (that is accessed by a strenuous but short hike). No camping, fees, or toilets are provided. If you look closely, about 50 yards to the South of the "parking" area, there is a grave marker.

Difficulty

Small drop-offs when heading south on the trail, easy to negotiate. If heading North, a little more finesse is needed.

Status Reports

Laid some tracks today in the snowstorm. Came in through the south and had to break out the winch and air down to 10psi (from 40psi) for the last half mile up the south side Genoa Peak Trail. Supposed to clear up tomorrow so should be an easy & clear ride out. 🤙

Came up from the south. It was unexpectedly rocky with big boulders requiring 4 low and a bit of patience to climb up. We came down on the north end and that was way easier. Bottom line: go up from the north side if you’re looking for an easy adventure with a spectacular view. If you wanna earn it a little go up from the south.
