Trail Overview

This loop is really fun to explore, with its side roads and narrow, twisty terrain. There is a great overlook above the Air Force academy where you can relax and eat lunch. It is also a fun area to camp with a lot of different options inside the border of the park. You'll pass through some private land, so please be courteous. Unlicensed vehicles are permitted, and there is a staging area at the forest boundary.

Difficulty

Moderate. Roads undulate with banked turns and narrow spots. Marked side roads are steep in places with occasional rocky challenges. Tippy spot on F.S. 311A gets your attention.

Fun trail . Definitely has some tricky spots . At a minimum your rig will need 4x4 and 33’s towards the end of the loop there is hells creek spur rd. That portion of the trail is a 6-7 rating . You will definitely need a decent articulating lift and 35s anything less than that you probably will need to turn around .

the main loop is pretty straight forward for aggressive stock 4x4s. there is one decent/good technical portion. some side roads have more aggressive tracks with 25 degree hills and larger than 2ft obstacles. overall a great route for semi new and semi-moderate offroad drivers.

Mostly easy going. Some steep technical spots with steep inclines and deep erosion. One spot going south just before the offshoot trail is much more technical than the rest of the trail, very misleading for inexperienced drivers. Not for highway only vehicles like my own. Wouldn't recommend awd and independent suspension. 4X4 should make it no problem.
