Difficulty
The terrain consists of well-compacted dirt mixed with basalt rock gravel. There are areas for pull-off spots for vehicles to pass, although some areas may present narrower passages where there is a potential for side panel contact. The route is characterized by steep climbs and descents, in addition to sections suitable for small boulder crawling. Long flat stretches of hardpan and basalt rock make for a nice place to pull over and stretch your legs.
