Difficulty

The road features many water collection spots, in a few places back to back, it also features one spot with a good off-camber tilt with one side being in a water channelizing divot/rut. There are also some optional deep mud holes on the side of the trail at .25 miles in, though I would steer clear of these for Tread Lightly purposes
