Trail Overview

Seemingly leave Idaho and transport yourself into the terrain you would find in the Western Desert. Grey rock, grey sand, Juniper trees, and even cacti welcome you on this fun short adventure. Pick your adventure if you'd rather take the more difficult direction from south to north, or the easier, quicker direction from the north, you can not go wrong. If you decide to drive south to north, expect loose rock and slow climbing up the gulch.

Difficulty

Loose rock, steep climbs/descents, blind corners, and narrow roads. Spring runoff may cause moderate to severe rutting. Narrow road due to overgrowth, fallen trees may be encountered, brief steep climbs, and slight off-camber sections. NOT recommended for full-sized 4WD vehicles.

A little rocky. Travels through a burn area so lots of junipers are cut down. Towards the top it gets a little narrow through some quakies. Prepare for some racing stripes if you have a wider buggy or Jeep. Pretty good ride.
