Difficulty

It starts as a wide gravel road with some larger rocks here and there, mostly packed down. The road eventually slims down and is washed out further up. Don't let a tire fall in the washouts! Some can be pretty deep but are easily maneuvered around. You'll find a few water puddles near the top but nothing deeper than 3 inches.
