Trail Overview

This is a mild but heart-thumping trail. Beautiful sights and scenes, along with some fun obstacles for all kinds of off-roaders. Muddy wetlands, creek crossings, and rocks for those who like to try and keep a little clean. You also have some decent pull-off camping spots along the way

Took this trail from the top to bottom in a jeep renegade trailhawk with no problems making it, there’s a few loose climbs that I didn’t have issues with and I was seeing tons of wildlife!
