This is not an offroad trail, it's a dirt road over which any vehicle can pass with no problem, including 2WD sedans (Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, etc.). There were a lot of vehicles when we went, but it provided nice views.

Short, easy drive. Started at Bear Creek. Only saw two other vehicles. Pretty view, cool tunnels. A lot of it is paved. Small bit of ice at the end.

Open during seasonal hours, gates close at 10pm, gates close when it snows and is unmaintained but there’s is 2 cool rock tunnels.
