Hurricane Creek 7

Trail Overview

This is a one-way trail that you enter from the westbound lane of Interstate 40. The trail gets tight in many areas, there is not enough room to turn around. You will encounter steep drops on one side of the trail with a steep bank on the other. There are water crossings and tight twisty rocky trails. The scenery is awesome and there are a bunch of other trails nearby

Difficulty

We encountered a few places where a spotter may be required. Slippery rock with steep embankments that will cause rollovers if the incorrect line is chosen. Most of the trail is fairly easy except for a few minor spots, where slippery rock due to rain.

Still a great challenge for a stock vehicle.

The two main recent repairs I noticed were the hill climb right before you get to the main clearing (the big boulder at the bottom has been reburied) and the tree squeeze on the last third of the trail (has been filled and leveled). However, the sketchy spot after the tree squeeze is still sketchy. they just filled in hole there. I was still at a 20° off camber tilt. whoever said a two wheel drive could it, no way, at least not today. And thanks to the two jeepers that came up behind. Thanks for the spot over the boulder I was trying to avoid smashing my dif on.

Entire trail has been graded. Very muddy so likely to deteriorate quickly. All obstacles have been covered/flattened. I only rode the very top section but noticed it was graded. A friend rode the whole thing and mentioned its been completely smoothed out.

road was just graded. all the technical obstacles are smooth over. a stock 2wd truck would make this trail. picture I provided is the obstacle that had a rock on the driver side and wash out on the passenger side causing a off camber lean. the tree root obstacle is smooth over letting a simple front wheel drive car to drive right over it.

Access Description

Enter the trailhead from the Westbound lane of Interstate 40, just past the guardrail. This will come up fast and is not a marked road.
