Trail Overview

Choose your method of travel: foot, ATV, horse, truck or other. All are fun and acceptable (within reason). ATVs and motorcycles are king on this trail. You can rip down the trails at a good speed and enjoy the bends and jumps. Trucks with good clearance can bounce all the way to the third lake, if you are an adventurous driver. These lakes are easy to access and very popular.

tree sticking into the road, wish I had cutters to clear it, just enough room for smaller vehicles to squeeze around it.

Not a problem for a Jeep on 35’s but harder than I expected today. Very narrow with some steep grades, came across one guy in a full-size truck and he wasn’t making it out without taking damage.

there's a road somewhere under the snow, gate is scheduled to open June 30th once it isn't under snow, pretty sure I was standing above the gate in the snow drift

This trail is a blast and has alot of branching paths leading down the switchbacks. The trail is extremely rocky and rough as well as being steep, I wouldn't recommend going very fast down this due to that.
