Trail Overview

J100, not open to Jeeps, begins with a more primitive, narrow route descending from north to south through dense woods. The majority of the route is moderate-easy, with gradual switchbacks, embedded rock layers, loose dirt, and overgrown grass in the middle of the trail. It passes oil and gas infrastructure and includes a slightly off-camber shelf path cut into the hillside with potential for moisture and slick conditions. The route is mostly a gradual descent until it intersects with J91. Near the north end, a split forms a small loop--its east half features the trail's most difficult section: a very steep descent with loose, large rocks, deep ruts, and a rougher surface that presents a more technical challenge.
