Trail Overview

This incredible trail is an adventure to a steep cliffside off-road climb. On it, you will find large boulders to drive around, medium-sized obstacles, and lots of nature. Enjoy all the deep the woods has to offer being surrounded by trees. Soft ground makes for quick washouts so be prepared to take it slow. There are camping spots that hide along the way.

Difficulty

Large boulders can be driven around but dips, rock patches, and logs make careful driving and upgrades a serious advantage. The trail is rutted and has the potential for streams in spring. Mud can make the trail quite difficult.

Only went about a mile or 2 into this stretch from the East - was overcast so all the great views were obstructed. Decided to head back and check out some area lakes instead.

Washout

The trail is open up to the 9-mile mark from the trailhead on Hwy 7. After that it is washed out. There was a 1' deep snow patch 7 miles in, but easily crossed. By the next morning it was well-rutted. About a mile after that there is a broken tree hanging across the road. It can be held aside to let a vehicle pass.
