Trail Overview

Predominantly this trail is fairly mild. However, there is one particular section of this trail that bumps up the difficult rating. It's a combination of rocky ledges on a steep grade with severely uneven terrain just beneath it; pictures don't do it justice. If you don't want to attempt the rock garden, just off to the side is an easier path past it. Towards the top there will be some milder rocky sections in the path. Trail erosion/damage is present. On a clear day, the views from the top go on for miles.

Trail is super simple for 90% of the time except for the only main rock feature about halfway up. A Tacoma on 35” tires made it up no problem but my FJ Cruiser on 33” tires was struggling and I had to back down. There is a simple bypass to the side though. Trail has some ruts and deteriorated sections but is pretty good condition mostly.

Pretty tame trail until you get to the only big obstacle on the trail. There’s a bypass to the right if you’re headed up the mountain (left if you’re heading downhill). Good clearance and at least 31” tires will get you up the hill.

The trail is super simple for most except for one pretty large lock obstacle about halfway up the trail. A 4runner attempted the section and ended up breaking the rear diff. There is a bypass to the right of it though.
