Trail Overview
This is a beautiful trail that winds through forests and gullies. There are several viewpoints where you can stop for photos and breaks, plus there are a handful of trails that lead off for extra exploration. This was the amateur route for our first couple of Toy Run events as stock off-road vehicles could complete it, but there are more challenging offshoots for experienced off-road enthusiasts.
Difficulty
This trail was a great choice for our Toy Run, as a few sections can give novice drivers some thrill without worrying about damaging their rigs. There are some steep grades, tight corners, and small ledges to navigate. 50% is a single-track trail with a few locations where two vehicles could pass each other. The other 50% consists of an old logging rod with cross ditches, but there are more areas to pass oncoming traffic. In the winter, a few of the gullies do not get much sunlight so they can be very challenging as they can be off-camber and tight with deep snow. Suggesting to run this route in the late fall, or early spring if you want to traverse it in snow.
