Trail Overview

This trail features a dirt base with a steep climb that, when wet that can become slippery and muddy, making traction a challenge. Near one end, there is a large rock obstacle at the top of a hard hill climb, with ledges reaching up to four feet. Vehicles with short wheelbases or very high clearance will have an easier time avoiding damage, but many will likely scrape their skid plates on the rocks.

Difficulty

The steep hill features significant rock formations up to four feet high, posing a tough obstacle best suited for vehicles with high clearance and shorter wheelbases to minimize undercarriage damage. Skid plates and other undercarriage protection is highly recommended. The demanding ascent on a dirt surface can become slick and muddy, potentially requiring traction aids such as lockers. Narrow passages near trees add to the challenge by increasing the risk of body damage if conditions are wet. The entire length of the trail is only one vehicle wide, so passing oncoming vehicles is not an option.
