Difficulty

Finney Pit is generally easier, but not recommended to for low clearance vehicles due to the combination of water damage, loose surfaces, and steeper grades. While the route itself is relatively short, the gravel pit at the end contains several rock gardens that can provide a more technical challenge for drivers looking to test their vehicles. Weather conditions such as rain can increase difficulty, particularly where loose surfaces become slick. As with most trails in the area, bringing a chainsaw or equipment to clear fallen trees is recommended.
