Overall great and attention-demanding trail. -Minimal pull-over spots -Fairly tight (light pinstriping) including a couple sharp turns with changing elevation -In summer: some views into the woods, nothing long-range really -Rock wall was lots of fun (one perpendicular trench to watch for) -Ran N to S in a stock LR3 with michelin defender tires (not even really ATs)

Ran South to North today and it was a good ride, but a whole lot of rocks. Trail has definitely deteriorated since the 2 rating. I ran it before in April 2023 in a Subaru with no problems, now I have a Ranger FX4 and needed 4H, and a spotter coming over some obstacles. Closer to the 5, a Subaru would not be able to do it as the trail is. Overall good ride and plenty of fun. Might be easier going North-South but any 4x4 truck can do it, recommend running skids.
