Trail Overview

This trail starts off as forest roads meandering down the canyon. As you get near the bottom and second half the trail ruts get deeper and the trail gets slightly overgrown. At the bottom is a large campsite on the river with fishing and endless nearby roads to explore. Be ready for over gown bushes and possible trees down on the trail. High-clearance vehicles are recommended as some of the ruts are deep and full of rocks.

Difficulty

This trail has some deep ruts and during the winter and spring seasons, it can be muddy and wet. The river crossing water levels can vary and on the other side of the river, there are some large rocks to maneuver. Be prepared for downed trees and overgrown bushes.

Trail down to the river gradually got more and more difficult with a few mud holes and a couple drop offs. Water crossing is a little technical. Uphill section looks very technical and possibly only for short wheel base vehicles. We turned around and the water crossing.

Some water in a few spots making it muddy (but never got stuck) . Pinstriping from foliage on both sides, creek crossing is deeper than it looks (2ft+ in spots) but manageable in stock Rubicon. Nice place to stop by the creek and have lunch or turn around if you don't want to cross the creek. Uphill section after creek passable by jeeps and shortbed trucks.
