Trail Overview
The forest access road starts out as a steep uphill featuring crushed stone to prevent repeated washouts. After you top the hill the trail becomes a mix of gravel, crushed stone, and ultimately dirt. Trail conditions deteriorate the further into the woods you go where you will encounter washouts with wood debris tossed in to make a couple run off creek crossings. Beware large loose rocks in those same sections towards the end of the trail.

Difficulty
As you get towards the end of the trail it becomes pretty treacherous if your rig is not high clearance. Washouts and large boulders in the trail made it necessary for me to have a spotter to safely get through certain portions. Ultimately we turned around due to a large tree across the trail further up. Be on the constant lookout for places to turn around as the trail gets rougher and tighter the further you go.
History
As you begin traversing this trail you will see one of the original homes on this hill. It's worth stopping and looking but keep in mind the house is on private property so do not trespass. You then follow the old wagon trail from what used to be pasture land in the late 1800s.
