Trail Overview

This trail features significant elevation gain and offers an engaging climb when traveled from west to east. The ascent includes numerous switchbacks, loose rolling rocks, and a gravelly soil surface that can reduce traction, requiring careful throttle control and steady momentum. Despite the challenging terrain, the route is an enjoyable drive with rewarding elevation changes and plenty of opportunities to test both vehicle capability and driving skill.
