This trail was an easy challenge, definitely a 5. This can be completed with a stock rig with some good spotting IMO. However we did do this when it was dryer on the ground, so besides the small river running through a quarter of the trail, it looks like it'll be pretty muddy further into spring/summer, so having a winch is great. Tip: Put one side of the rig in the river gulch, and one on the higher land, to prevent sliding or rolling. But watch your diffs.

*Road Opens June 1st for mud season* Half this class 6 is mild the other half is a little spicy(to run in a stock truck) but very do able stock 4x4 Tacoma with a good set of tires and taking good lines and not minding a little scraping of the belly here and there.
