Trail Overview

The start of the trail is through private land. Once you come out of private land, about 0.5 miles, there is a rutted section then a rock obstacle. After that, the trail steadily climbs towards the top, with a lot of loose rock. About 0.25 miles from the top, the road turns into a shelf road, and at the end of the road, there is a locked gate. There is not much room to turn around at the gate.

This was our first Colorado moderate trail and we loved it (we live at sea level)! Trail was rocky with some loose rocks in some sections going up hill. Tops of the mountains had just had a light snow the night before. Trail was a little wet in some areas from recent rain. While on the way down we passed a stock Bronco Sport on their way up that looked like was doing just fine on the trail.

Dry tail. A lot of loose rock and some gradient changes especially the second half of the trail. I can see water causing the tail to become more technical. I tasted it a 5/10 but could be a 4/10. Just need the right rig and patience crawling.
