Pretty snowed in, turned back after .25 miles, due to the condition. Got stuck a few times trying to get out. Jeep 2 door, lifted and 33in tires, in 4 low with aired down tires. I bet it’s a great and easy trail, but not in the snow.

Great trail! I'm a heavy Gladiator overlanding rig. This trail was exciting, but not overly demanding for the rig. Some rocky patches, some ruts. Very remote, one lane wide, cows, gates, a very old International tractor or truck body. Definitely a 3 rating.
