Difficulty

Moderate. Bocco Mountain has one steep section that is washed out with large ruts and is impassable when wet. For this road you'll need high clearance, low-range gearing and good articulation. The road to Blue Lake is easy and suitable for most SUVs.

History

All roads and trails in this area have been selected by the BLM to avoid the Mill Creek riparian area that runs northwest to southeast along BLM Road 8500. It is very important that you stay on designated routes at all times.

Fairly easy road to Blue Lake. Some dried up ruts from the last time the road was wet required some good tire placement.

Definitely need high clearance on AT/MT’s. Please don’t come here when it’s muddy.

Lots of wash out and 6-12 inch deep ruts that mostly can be avoided half way up the trail. Good trail for a first go with a stock Tacoma and Frontier.
