Trail Overview

Be ready for a mix of fun sandy washes, rock gardens, and beautiful slot canyons. This is an out-and-back trail, the further you go the narrower the slot canyon gets and the rockier the trail. This does end at some massive boulders, but there is enough room for vehicles to turn around.

Fun trail. Easier than a 4 in every spot other than 1 of the rock gardens. 2in lift 3rd gen Tacoma w/ full skids, and my buddies stock 4 door wrangler. We both scraped on that one section. Rest of the trail is nice nothing too crazy. We ran this trail around midnight

Super fun trail, a few small rock gardens that I believe are by passable but I’m not sure, they looked fun so I did them, definitely doable with a competent driver, spotter and 4wd, if you have skid plates and sliders you don’t need tremendous clearence, I’m willing to bet I could get a stock 4runner or Tacoma through there without too much challenge and a good spotter, if you don’t have armor, you’d better have clearence I was fortunate not to damage anything but my buddy did put his first dings in his new wheels even with 35 inch tires, but all in all, it wasn’t so hard, and super fun, head down, check it out, there’s room to turn around if you get nervous but it definitely deserves its 4 rating if those rocks aren’t bypassable

Sand and rocks honestly a little disappointed with trail rating or a 4. Would have gave it a three but there are some big rocks and at the end of it there two sand stone obstacles. Didn’t air down made it without an issue, my buddy in a 2017 f150 did struggle a little bit. Only reason for agreeing with the 4 rate. Did see that the trail keeps going didn’t continue down it past the fork though ones got massive rocks and the other side is a 2foot sand stone ledge. Would love to know what’s back there get sure going back
