Trail Overview

This trail is a good test of your off-road skills. It has many elevation changes and obstacles that will test your equipment. The lower areas have several water crossings and some very deep mud bog areas. Choose your line carefully. The trail is prone to wash-outs and has plenty of deep gutters. The northern end reaches HWY 23 at West Fly Gap Road. The southeastern connection is on Morgan Mountain Road. There are several other trails to explore along the way and two fun waterfalls that make for a good stop to refresh. Recovery equipment is a must when traveling this trail. The designated trail has moved in some areas and will remain moved due to natural events. This is one of the longer, more difficult trails to ride in the area.

Difficulty

The trails is moderate for 60% on the lower area along Mountain Creek. The northern 20% of the trail is very tight and rough with very narrow area's more suited to SxS but a short wheelbase 4x4 can run the trail. The southern 20% is very rutted and washed out with no bypass area.

Downed trees with by passes. Close the falls the trees get really tight for something four runner size. Watch your mirrors.

Lots of muddy water crossings, down trees, and mud holes. Plenty of alternative routes to avoid obstacles. Totally worth the ride to see 60 foot falls. Be sure to take the short hike up and around the main falls to the other falls.. It’s beautiful.

this trail and the blue trail that connects to fly gap have been graded recently. fun and some steep areas but nothing challenging. really great waterfalls. 60' falls and a wide area you could wade in at the second falls.

The trail was recently graded from Morgan Mountain Road to the creek near Spy Rock Hollow and was very easy to pass. The trail gets rockier as it continues north, but there is nothing that is impassible for a stock RZR.
