Trail start off nice and fun for a bout a quarter of a mile then it becomes extremely technical with large sharp rocks everywhere that you have to go over. In addition, there are trees and muddy areas that are virtually impossible to pass. I wouldn't take a dirt bike or adventure bike up this trail as you will be on your butt alot. ATV and small 50" side by sides are ok but some parts will be a challenge to pass. Don't go if you don't know what your doing. We ended up getting a flat tire near the north end because of all the sharp rocks. There are funner options out there.
