Basic 3 trail, most loose sand and rock. Some high points and grade undulating.

Pretty rocky conditions, a bit primitive. Spotting needed in some areas.

This trail has some amazing views. Nothing difficult just a fun senic trail with some rocky sections that do not pose any issues, great for 4x4 and SxS's.
