Trail Overview

This route narrows significantly at one end, with tight tree coverage that requires careful tire placement. On the lower section, you'll encounter several mud holes that must be driven through. Most are manageable, but one is noticeably deeper and thicker than the others and may require steady throttle control to avoid getting stuck. There is also a water crossing along this portion of the route. As the route climbs in elevation on the opposite end, the surface becomes rockier, though nothing highly technical or severely off-camber. That said, scattered ruts throughout the trail can shift your vehicle off balance in spots, so controlled, attentive driving is recommended.

Difficulty

This route features tight sections, multiple mud holes, including one deeper and thicker than the rest, and a water crossing. Ruts along the route can shift your vehicle off balance, and traction may be limited after rainfall. The rocky elevation gain is not highly technical, but careful line choice and steady throttle control are important. A high-clearance 4x4 with quality all-terrain or mud-terrain tires is recommended.
