Trail Overview

This trail consists of steep grades, off-camber portions, washouts, erosion, rocks, and ruts. It's a narrow trail, but our 75-inch SXS fit. There's lots of downed timber in the area, which sometimes results in branches or trees over and along the trail, which might cause clearance issues on the side of the trail or above your vehicle. It's a good idea to take a chain or hand saw for possible tree/branch removal. There were a few mud puddles in areas, but after rain, the trail would be muddy and much more difficult.

Difficulty

In late July the trail has no water crossings except puddles, but the rating fits regardless. There is one rock in the trail that's approximately 3 feet high. There is a lot of erosion from spring run-off, a lot of steep grades, significant off-camber slopes and lots of other large rocks in the trail. Some of the wash/erosion areas have logs that have been placed in the bottom of the wash to help vehicles navigate the wash.

History

The Alport Mine is in the area of this trail, but has to be hiked to.

Trail has gotten quite washed out. But there are some bypasses for the worst sections. It is a bit of a stretch to fix in here with a full size 4x4. My FJ was brushing up against some branches and I had to trim some branches back to fit through. Great trail otherwise, I would rather take my side by side or dirtbike next time.

Fun trail and clearance required. Trail has a blank spot(not obvious which way to connect) had to guess and drive across open grassy area to hook up to trail. My 31s had me dragging in a couple spots but still a great trip. Finished with a beer and burger at the Windsor!
