Trail Overview

This trail follows a creek bed for the majority of the route. With running water, and some great places to get your flex on. This trail is centered towards the off-roader that likes more technical and difficult trails. But is still completely doable solo. There is very limited cell service here, so make sure you let some friends or family know where you will be and when you are getting back.This is very close to some other great trails, and this would be a perfect warm-up trail before getting into the gnarly stuff nearby. *A tornado went through and some trees are down, so if you have a tall vehicle you may experience some difficulty getting under the downed trees.

Difficulty

You will drive through a running creek bed, with small rocks and boulders, and then you will start to gain elevation on some easy hill climbs. This is a through trial. You can take any stock 4x4 or even high clearance 2wd with LSD or Locker on this. A full-size vehicle will fit on this trail. Do not recommend running this trail in the winter, as you could slide down some very steep sections and potentially fall off the side of the road.

This was a fun trail/road with a few small brook crossings. Lots of mud. Surprised to see actual residences along the "road."

It was pretty dry with some wet muddy spots. I think it would be more enjoyable after a fresh rain.

Apple maps directed me to go this way, I had a trailer with a zero turn on it and it looked to be fine for the most part then it got rough. I was never planning on going off-roading but here I was with a normal sized trailer and my chevy avalanche. I made it out just fine but definitely difficult atleast in my situation.

not very difficult. a bit of flexing bot nothing serious. on 32" tires, and sway bars still connected there was only one spot I had to choose my line. any 4x4 or awd should be able to pass this no problem.

honestly, not a difficult trail at all, mainly used to go down to the other black trails...as far as I can remember, it's mostly just a dirt trail with some off camber and mud, if done after a rain...have fun and enjoy the rest of the trails

Was a nice relaxing drive out in the woods. Nothing crazy never even had to leave 2wd. There was a tree down that had been cut. And also a big branch down near the south east entrance but it was partially cut and I was able to squeeze through in a full size SUV and just grazed the toe mirrors on either side.

I have ran this trail many times and couldn't figure out why it was a moderate trail until today there was a flood warning and the begining of the trail has a tiny stream with at most an inch of water today it was at least a foot deep with one spot going about 2 feet. All of the rain is starting to make small ruts that weren't there a few months ago still an easy trail but still fun

pretty boring trail i gotta be honest. I came down from blue creek and used 4low to engine brake my way down, as far as I remember it was just kinda a dirt road with a kinda steep grade. nothing special really.

I needed 4x4 on one steep incline that was rutted up. I started from the south end off narrows.

No muddy puddles because of the drought recently. A little bit up and down, you might need a good ground clearance for this trail. The northern part looks too tight for my Colorado so we just turned around. If you drive a big truck, there is possibility of getting scratches.
