Super chill trail, can really be done in any stock SUV or crossover, even if they are 2WD. There are a few spots along the trail with flash flood warnings that I’d be careful crossing if flooded but otherwise a very easy path to follow and super pretty at night.

Well maintained with some small ruts

Officially Closed Sign

basically 3 turn off parking areas, hackers, mx riders, 1 bathroom at the end. Watch out getting squirmy on the turns.
