Stopped to camp at the Hideout area. No problems making it that far with stock 4Runner and a sissy driver : ) The camping area is an unmarked turn off to the right. First turn is a little more technical. If uncomfortable, go a tiny bit further and take the path up the creek bed.

It’s muddy, snowy and slippery around some steep areas where the sun don’t shine. It just snowed so it should be better soon. Great trail over all
