The trail wasn't busy at all, just my group. My group was me in a triple locked lifted montero on 33"s, a lifted 2 wheel drive taco on 33"s, and a lifted 93 f150 on 35"s. The trail wasn't too bad. Lots of fun optional obstacles. 3/4 of the way down the trail was a really hard mandatory obstacle. I managed to get down it and back up it with lockers, but the other people in my group didn't think they could get back up it so we turned around there.

Pretty short trail with a few fun obstacles to play on. One pretty rocky section without a bypass. Also a 5-6 foot step obstacle however it has a bypass.

The trail was largely dry and where there was snow there, but not much. Expect this to change with snow arriving right before Thanksgiving. It's possible to go down the v-notch currently but not up it because of the snow beforehand that makes the rock slippery. All of the other obstacles were dry. China Wall North is partially traversable, but the twist and drop had loose rock and shaded snow that is dangerous for heavier vehicles.

China Wall has some good rock obstacles. Box Canyon trail (#204) has some good obstacles as well. One that we rate as an 8
