Trail Overview
This trail is basically the more difficult portion of The Switzerland Trail. The easier section of the trail basically dead ends, at which point you take a left up a very steep, very rocky hill. This part of the route offers an obstacle called Cliffhanger 2.0. This can be bypassed. If you can get there, the camping at the top is unrivaled. There are parking areas on both ends of the trail. It is open all year.

Large rocks, technical terrain and steep grades. Amazing views and definitely worth it!

Road not really maintained and very rocky. Rockslides in some areas increase the chances of punctures. Nothing really technical on the trail.

I think whoever rated this trail thought they were on Switzerland but were actually on Pennsylvania Gulch. Pennsylvania Gulch definitely requires some experience but if you stick to Switzerland you just need any stock 4x4.
