First time on the trail! It was a blast! Lots of fun features to explore! The trail was dry in most places and had a couple muddy and wet areas.

As others have said, the trail is closed due to road work. The gate was open, so do whatever you think is right.

This was my first time off-roading. Terrain wasn’t that difficult. There were couple of slopes with loose rocks where I see a Tacoma with good off-road tires and an f150 struggling to climb a little bit but nothing too serious. The scenery is great and gets better as you get close to the ski resort. There was only one access point which was through 307 and ballish road.
