This trail offers some deep rutted-out roads pitching your vehicle into off-camber situations that can make this trail difficult to traverse. The trail is open year-round, so deep snow can make the trail impassable without a well-built vehicle.

Super cool trail with the snow melt stream through it. Wasn’t too bad at all for most of it. Water was like 6 in deep at most. Not super rocky, but up towards the top it got real bad. Super muddy ruts. Super slick and hard to stay out of the ruts. At the deepest they were probably 15 inches or more. Super thick mud, ended up getting stuck for about 3 hours after a tire debead in the mud. Overall not too bad just watch out for the ruts

Fun trail, didn’t see anyone else. A few sections got a little tight for a full size vehicle but nothing too bad. Past the end of this guided trail coming down the other side gets much tighter and we ended up turning back
