Trail Overview

The journey of this trail starts near Graveyard Point and winds down to the Succor Creek camping area. It offers a diverse terrain with small obstacles, making it exciting for beginners in off-roading. It's a dirt trail with quite a few rutted sections that aren't too deep. However, a 4x4 is required for this trail. The mix of gravel, rutted sections, rocks, and even a barbed-wire fence adds to the authenticity of the experience. Once coming down to Succor Creek, you'll have to get through a barbed-wire fence, be sure to leave it as you've found it. After passing the fence as you come down, the views of the rock formations are stunning, but there will be a slightly steep section with rocks--some are loose. One section is a bit narrow, but there's enough space to navigate. There are long stretches of enjoyable flat gravel with terrific views as you approach the Succor Creek area. Late spring is the perfect time to do this trail, as the wildflowers are in bloom and the landscape is a lush green. There are spots for dispersed camping before reaching the Succor Creek camping area.

Difficulty

This trail is easy for a high-clearance 4x4. It might be challenging in some deeper rutted sections for vehicles with less clearance, but it's very doable. There is one steep downhill with loose rocks. There are no restrictions for full-width 4x4, but it's not recommended.

I’m definitely not a professional off-roader but I don’t believe that this trail is rated properly. If the main sucker creek road is rated a 2-3 then this trail is a 4-5. Some really fun hill climbs and rock climbing involved. I took it slow lots of 4 low and easy going with my family in the rig did the trip from homedale to the camp ground in about 2.5 hours and had lots of fun. I never got into any spots I was super uncomfortable in and I thought it was an amazing road to work on some fundamentals of driving.
