Crankshaft Crack

Trail Overview

This trail is generally simple to navigate, making it an easy route for most 4WD vehicles. However, drivers of wider or longer wheelbase rigs should be aware of a tight turn that may require careful maneuvering to avoid brushing against trees or backing up to reposition. Throughout the trail, there is noticeable overgrowth on both sides, with branches and brush extending into the path. As a result, light scratches or pinstriping are likely, especially for vehicles with wider stances or fresh paint. Despite the vegetation and narrow section, there are no major obstacles such as deep ruts, rocks, or steep climbs. It's a mild, scenic path best taken at a slow pace to avoid cosmetic damage.
