Depending on how many rigs are with you, the time to complete this trail can range from 40 minutes to 2 hours. Taking pictures and videos can considerably slow down your progress.

Consider this a Level 5 trail. The route features some off-camber sections that can have a roll of up to 20°. Be prepared to navigate carefully and ensure your vehicle has excellent approach and departure angles—my Jeep Gladiator on 35-inch tires scraped its tail a few times. Lockers aren't a must-have but will make the trip much smoother. Note that there are no bypasses if you encounter a difficult obstacle.
