Trail Overview

The trail consists mainly of dirt, rocks, and some roots. It is wide enough for one vehicle, but there are turnouts for passing throughout the trail. Stock height 2WD SUV and truck type vehicles are capable of completing this trail. There are some soft and loose dirt areas, but they are not an issue for 2WD vehicles. There are also plenty of scenic views with safe places to stop on turnouts that do not block traffic. These turnouts have space for multiple vehicles, so it also will not affect others from pulling off if needed. Cell phone service is reliable in most areas of the trail, but downloading an offline map is highly recommended as cell phone service is not reliable in areas leading up to the trail. There are no gas stations within miles of the trail so fueling up prior to the trip is recommended.

At the very start there is a washed out section, with loose rock covering... Even standing on this you start sliding downhill...

Washout
It’s a single lane up or down, with very few spots to turn around, not to difficult, or so I thought. Ended up running into a washout that took out half the road and my forester barely fit on the path that was left, but turning back ment I had to reverse up hill a good amount so I just went for it. Definitely sketchy. But if you got the cajones I would say go for it, just be mindful of your really wide you might not fit.
