Easy groomed wide trail. A couple of soft sandy spots. Most all trails today were done in 2wd.

Drought season, stock 2wd RAV4, piece of cake. Just gravel, dirt, a little bumpy. 2wd sedan could handle it roughly.

Easy ride next to "Devil's Haircut" as labeled on Google maps. Nice scenic lake with cool tress in the background. Once there was a difficult water crossing. But a bridge was constructed over it and gravel poured in another section. There is a spill way right before the bridge, but only a couple inches deep after a couple days of rain. Currently any RWD, AWD, or 4x4 can pass through.

Decently muddy after recent rainfall through the week, few shallow crossings. Mid trail there is a large pile of gravel in the middle of an intersection, shortly after us a washed out narrow section right after a bridge. Advise caution when crossing.

Perhaps this trail had some mud wholes and water crossings you have to drive through with no detour, which warranted 5/10 rating at the time it was submitted. Currently the trail is 1/10, no more. Some spots are filled with stones; I assume those used to be the challenging crossings. Sienna or Odyssey can blast through these roads. Nonetheless, area is super nice and there is a secluded lake you can explore.

Easy trail when dry like it was today. There is a swampy section that may present problems in wet conditions, but I'm not sure this trail merits a 5.

This is a nothing trail. It ranks a 1 rating in terms of difficulty. Just a dirt road. Maybe there is more to it when it rains or there is mud.

Nice ride perfect weather. Trail was sandy and rutted in spots but not bad. Had three water crossings 2 on small side around 8 inches deep one larger crossing around 15 inches deep soft bottom but enough to grab and cross, about 20 feet across. Some spots a little overgrown.
