Difficulty

Off-camber sections, ruts, whoops, and uneven surfaces all under 12 inches create accumulated challenges without individual extreme depth. The very steep hill on the north section is the crux, demanding low range and controlled descent or committed climb. Being perched high above the area creates exposure psychology. Hard pack sandy surface provides decent traction. The sub-12-inch obstacles are manageable with clearance. Four wheel drive handles the steep north section hill. The elevated border position provides excellent views of the OHV area activity below.
