Trail Overview

This trail isn't just a drive -- it's a challenge. Expect rugged rock gardens with boulder fields that'll test your line choice, off-camber climbs that keep your tires gripping for dear life, and narrow mountain ledges. The terrain is rocky but not overly dusty, with scenery that shifts from jagged peaks to wide-open overlooks. Every rig gets a little love (and a few guaranteed pinstripes if you're full-size). Run it either way -- the adventure hits differently in both directions.

The trail has changed and washed out a bit from all the rain . It’s easily navigable. We took a treyex4, wildcat and a 2wd four wheeler to the end and back with ease

While the trail was a beautiful and scenic it was quite challenging. The trail is rugged, Rocky, and in some places washed out making for a challenging ride... and a times a little nerve-wracking. Our three Jeeps made it through just fine but at times we had to act a spotters to get around some of the obstacles. It's a beautiful trail just don't try it alone!
