pretty easy gravel/dirt road. Dont need 4x4, dont need a high clearance up to the entrance to the rec site.

Service Road was good. A few icy patches in the shade descending in a few areas. Made it down to the Camp Sites at Skwellepil. As did many others today.

Standard FSR trail. The rec site at the end of trail was tricky to get down but no match and issues for Roxanne (the Bronco). Few people throughout but not busy. Got a flat on the way back; that will teach me for not airing down. Again people were so awesome to stop and check in while we changed the tire.

Great trail for a beginner to learn basic off-roading, but don’t speed on this trail in the wide areas watched a driver at about 100kmh flip his car don’t be stupid
