Trail Overview

About 100 yards into the trail there is a decent hill climb with some decent size rocks. High clearance is nice to have. However, stock rigs with the right tire placement will be just fine. Most of the trail is a nice trail with some nice overlooks in the winter. Once the leaves are on the trees it becomes hard to see the beautiful views. But they are still there. There is one more sizable rock climb about halfway down the trail. Take your time and it will be no problem.

Difficulty

Gate keeper at the beginning of the trail just take your time and pick your lines. The one about half way down the trail just watch your line and even stock will not have any trouble.

Be sure you are in a rig you don't mind limbs scratching alongside your rig.You can tell the trail is not driven very much due to the saplings growing in the trail at some points. However, if you can make it to where the road is cleared on both sides of trees you are met with some beautiful views of the surrounding mountains.
