A fairly straightforward forest road, albeit steep in some spots. About 1.5 car widths with turnouts. Two sections towards the summit that are 1 car widths. The last section is the steepest and most rocky but there is a large pullout just before it that would be a good place to park if you are unsure. Our Forester was able to make it to the summit

Trail was in great condition all things considered. Pretty smooth all the way up until about the last half mile with a small amount of rocks and pot holes. The lookout out was stunning, we could see for miles and no ones was up there except for us! Beautiful view!
