Difficulty

Moderate. First part of route is easy. After 5 miles the terrain gets rocky with some minor climbs and small ledges. Stock, high-clearance, 4x4 SUVs can do it with careful tire placement.

Medium rated beautiful trail with great scenery. Towards the end of the trail there are a couple fun obstacles. Our jeep is on 37s and we had no issues. Be careful at the top if you have pets!
