Trail Overview
There is a steep descent at the beginning of the trail. About halfway down the descent, there is a ledge that requires quite a bit of ground clearance. Once down to the bottom, the trail runs along a rocky creek bed. There are not any ledges or drop-offs along the creek bed. The trail exits out of the creek bed via a moderate hill climb.

Difficulty
The hardest parts on the entire trail are the hill descent into the creek bed and the hill coming out. A Jeep on 37-inch tires rubbed its frame rails on the ledge on the initial descent into the trail.
History
This is a Jeep Badge of Honor Trail. The trail exit used to be very difficult but has since been graded.
