Beautiful trail and fairly easy, but there are parts that are mudded out and rutted out. Takes precision to navigate some obstacles and not get stuck. I’d recommend high clearance and watch your lines.

Lots of small rocks, some erosion and three or so mud holes, all doable in a higher clearance full sized truck.

Some water pooling on trail, no deeper than 9", and 8' long. Spent 4 nights boondocking. Very well maintained forest. I would visit again.

Fairly straight forward with some rocks. Easy for an f150. I stopped often to check mud holes, even though we haven’t had rain there were several spots. I wanted to make sure they weren’t too deep, had no issues.
