Trail Overview
This trail is heavily overgrown and difficult to follow, as tall prairie grass and brush have begun to reclaim the path. In many spots, the original track nearly disappears, leaving only faint tire impressions or narrow clearings through the vegetation. The route transitions out of the wooded area and crosses an open prairie, offering a different landscape but requiring careful attention to stay on course. There are no major obstacles or technical challenges, but the lack of trail definition can make navigation tricky.
