We entered in at the Mill Creek OHV trail head at mile marker 1. From mile marker 1 to 3 is does get pretty sketchy. There are some pretty rough stair step ledges you have to navigate on the way down. On the way back up the other side I did have to use my locker and "bump" the obsicals to get up and over. All in all if I could do it again I would bypass mile markers 1 to 3 but that's just me. Others with more ground clearance may not have have an issue at all. We where in a 24 cfmoto zforce 950 sport with 30" tires.

Several spots might be too much for a smaller stock rig without sliders or skid plates. We made the entire loop but did some bashing and banging. Overall fun ride.

Was quiet, only one out there. Overcast and in the mid 60’s. Was on a dual sport motorcycle. Trails are very rocky so not able to get speeds up. Rocky steep climbs and descents in some areas. In lower areas, there are many muddy puddles. Some are 2” deep, some are 20” deep. Some had work arounds, some didn’t. It was kinda like Russian Roulette crossing them. There were a few river crossings, but they were only a couple inches deep this time of year.

A few downed trees, you can get around them. Just a bit more interesting.
