Trail Overview

Beautiful autumn colors provide an awesome backdrop to enjoyable and moderately challenging drive. ATVs and UTVs will especially love venturing up the west side.

Difficulty

Moderate. Suitable for stock, high-clearance SUVs unless extremely muddy or snow covered. Allow time in spring for trail to dry out. Nasty mud bog of past years now has easy bypass.

Deep Snow
Came onto the trail from Moab. Just past the trail intersection of 54701 is 2-3 feet of snow. Trail continues through past this section completely covered in snow. Impassable for me in a 4 seat Turbo R on 35” tires.

Definitely harder than a 2. Switchbacks are the hardest part with a big boulder in the middle of the road you have to get around. Also some small ledges and very rocky for about half the trail until you reach the summit if you're doing it from west to east.

Do not attempt from the north due to rough, tight and some large obstacles on trail 4 miles or so from summit. On X has it rated as a 2 but more like a 5+. If you want to hit the summit take Geyser Pass route.
