Awesome trail. With that said, the first 1/3 of this trail coming from the east is challenging. Easily a blue 4 or 5. Doable in a full size truck but expect some pin striping as some parts get tight. The rest of the way is much easier, deserving of the 3 rating. This is a very remote area so come prepared.
