2/10… basically 0 obstacles, just a lone trail with some rocky sections due to washouts but no obstacles other than some steep climbs and descents, there was descent heading eastbound with somewhat of a shelf but even a stock 2025 grand Cherokee navigated it easily. This area is very isolated as we saw no one outside of our own group.

By far the most obnoxious dirt road I have ever driven down. If you like a long dirt road wsshboarded out from heavy side by side use then this is the trail for you.
