There were some big water run off spots and ruts after last weeks rain. Only hit 2 high clearance preferred ruts. Most of the road was in decent condition. Easy enough to skillfully manage with AWD.

This trail is closed with a gate and a sign stating that it is under new ownership and there is no trespassing. Attempted to access from Rocky Canyon Rd.

Few ft of snow currently. Sxs struggled towards the top. Wouldn’t try it unless you have an off road rig.
