Difficulty

Those sharp and jagged rocks create tire damage hazards and require precise wheel placement to avoid flats or sidewall cuts. The steep hill with steps dropping off around 18 inches is a severe obstacle demanding high clearance, excellent approach angles, and possibly spotting to navigate safely. Off-camber and rutted sections combined with the jagged rocks and steep, stepped hill earn this legitimate 4 rating. Short distance doesn't diminish the technical difficulty. High clearance and four wheel drive essential, suitable only for capable vehicles with experienced drivers. The canyon overlook views reward those able to handle the challenging approach.
