Difficulty

This trail earns a low difficulty rating with its mostly sandy and smooth surface featuring the occasional rock to avoid, along with a few washboards and some whoops. High clearance vehicles are recommended for the short rock sections, though the overall route remains manageable for most 4WD vehicles.

Cool little trail that drops you right onto the 395 south if taken from June lake. Only tricky part was a large rocky section that definitely required some high clearance.
