Trail Overview

The trail begins as a wide, hard-packed dirt logging road with some rocky sections and a few potholes. After approximately 8.5 km, the road begins to deteriorate, with a couple of washouts that are passable with caution. The final 400 metres are more challenging, with large waterholes and a cul-de-sac at the end full of exposed rocks. While most SUVs can navigate the trail, less confident drivers might consider parking at the final turn and walking the last stretch. The effort is worth it for the destination.

The trail's challenges include washouts that require careful navigation, large waterholes in the final 400 metres, and substantial exposed rocks in the last 80 metres. These obstacles make the trail moderately difficult, particularly for less experienced drivers or vehicles with lower ground clearance.
