Difficulty
This easy two-track trail winds along the bottom of a canyon, where a tall canopy of trees creates darker conditions even during daylight hours. With no obstacles or technical challenges, high-clearance 2WD/4WD vehicles are recommended after rain. Watch for oncoming traffic around the curves.
