Difficulty

This is just a simple nature viewing route that is easy to traverse, with enough room to pass with ease. If the season is wet, minor washboarding and ruts could form, but they would be minimal.

Status Reports

nothernmost entrance has a culvert dugout about 6ft deep. you can go around however longer vehicles may scrape on the second metal culvert in the ditch. high clearance 4x4 recommended

Almost to the end of the trail and the road is gone. There is a spot some might attempt to cross but I didn’t take that chance. It is much deeper than pictures or video make it look like.

Nice ridge top views into the valleys, watch for local sxs: friendly folks, be sure to wave. ;-)
