Difficulty

Moderate. The beginning of the trail has a steep climb with one rocky section on a tight turn that requires some offroad experience. We recommend high-clearance, short-wheel-based 4x4s with skid plates for the start of the trail. The road to the quarry at Waypoint 03 is wide and easy.

90% of the trail is fairly simple, narrow and dusty with some Rocky sections. The east access point from Buckhorn Rd quickly steepens and has 2/3 obstacles that most stock trucks/SUVs would struggle with. High clearance and 4 Low needed, skid plates recommended. The side trail 132 is a great pull-off point with a great view. Taking 344 could make this a fairly easy in-and-out trail.

A bit dusty, but otherwise great conditions. Stock vehicles should be able to complete this trail with careful lines. We were running a 4" lifted Jeep with 35 inch tires and only needed 4Lo on the loose stuff.

Dusty dusty dusty! The two obstacles were a breeze in 4 low with my modified 4Runner on 34’s. Lots of fun though and you will encounter some point striping. Beautiful day to be out on the trial.

Trail was dry and rocky with some tight spots through downed trees (all cleared). Eastern mile or so is steep and rocky with a few rock ledge obstacles less than 2ft tall. Definitely the more technical side. Western strech was much easier, but still full of rock fields. Traversed in a Rubicon Wrangler with 35s. No diff strikes or scrapes. Only used lockers in the technical eastern part, 4H elsewhere.

Trail was dry and in good condition. This trail has one or two minor challenges in it, but there are b-lines for stock 4x4s. Great views and pretty fall colors.

Glad I warmed up the bike with a quick rip up the road before starting. Trail starts off right away with a steep hill climb and didn’t seem too loose on the way up. About halfway up, there is one technical section with a steep rock, not much room to go around. Momentum is your friend. The rest of the trail was pretty easy. Some deep rutted sections. Beautiful lookout. The way back down seemed a lot more loose compared to the way up. Few other dirt bikes, few jeeps, and a few side by sides.

Was a little busier which makes bypassing difficult at the start of the trail since it is so tight.

No issues at all. Just smokey out from fires out of state. Saw a couple guys on dirt bikes but a fun trail to get up top.
