Trail is mostly packed dirt with loose gravel on top. Some parts have had new gravel dumped and spread. Some parts are finer others are bigger. Some fallen branches but nothing too serious

This time of year all there really was to see was trees. Views of the River were obstructed. We stayed in 2wd the entire time with no issues. Some washboarding, but not much.
