Difficulty

The beginning of the trail is a rather easy sandy double track with loose sand and smaller ruts, making it difficult for non-FWD vehicles. However, it turns into a narrow, muddy trail that features a few mud pits and encroaching branches making pinstripes and getting stuck a high possibility. Additionally, turning around at the end is very challenging as it is very narrow for full-size vehicles.
