Moderate trail in my opinion. Took my stock Jeep sport on it. Needed 4 low at times for sure. Coming from Appalachian highway side was the fun way to do it. First half is nothing, second half has some pretty intense spots. I was behind two 4 runners and one scraped tow hitch on one of the drops. You are going to scratch the sides of your vehicle. I scraped the bottom of mine, but I took a line wrong and drug on a rock.All the crossings have solid bottoms. Water was below 8” or so on all crossings. Very fun ride, anything on the dash is going to bounce.

Trail was open. Some water and mud holes but not as wet as it was. Not busy at all. We did not meet anyone the whole trail. Leaves are peak or a little past.

It is a simple forest road out of Davis. Then the last few miles will test your capabilities a bit because it gets tougher fast. With the recent days of rain it was muddy and had high water crossings. My stock 2026 4-door Jeep JL Rubicon had no issues with any of it. I highly recommend this 1. Especially in the fall when the leaves are looking beautiful.

Wet but all water fordable and all holes had hard bottoms. There was a tree down but it’s now cleared.

The beginning of the trail is the most fun part with plenty of washouts water crossings, and rock ledges. Its somewhere between a hard 3 and an easy 4. Once it turns to gravel, it's a simple level 2 trail that is extremely smooth.

First time on the trail so I don’t know what a “normal” day is for it but all was well for me. The deepest water crossing was about a foot deep give or take an inch or two. Lots of muddy spots and slick rocks but all in all very manageable in a stock JLU. I’m running all terrains and didn’t air down and still had great grip and traction. Great trail for someone wanting to ease into off-roading. I plan on going back again.

Trail is wet but fully passable, the Jeep pic shows the Jeep immediately after clearing the trail. No downed trees, washouts, or other blockages encountered. Water crossings are active, but nothing unusually deep; deepest crossing was roughly 1 foot. Road surface is slick in places with plenty of standing water, but minimal mud - "it's a mostly rocky trail", but overall conditions are good for a properly equipped 4x4. Conditions: Wet Blockages: None Water crossings: Active, approx. 1 ft max observed Overall: Open and passable

Started on the north side by Blackwater Falls. The first trail was wet with some mud from the earlier rains, the first 1/4 or so had plenty of rocks & a few holes that require 4wd & had 1 decent climb the rest was basically a gravel road.

Wet, first half coming in from the south is easily done with 2WD, rock gardens appear around 3/5 of the way to the end going towards north. Muddy and fun

First trail I've really done running in a stock Jeep with street tires. Had a lot of water puddles do to all the rain. The two stream crossing wasn't bad at all. The deepest puddle or water crossing came up to just the bottom of the Jeep's bumper. Everything was just muddy and really wet form the several past storms. Found out form people that has ran the trail before, I had done it backwards and is considered harder then going the other way. The "harder" direction is starting the trail end that's connected directly to Black Water Falls Stat park. All in all really cool trail and would do it again.

A lot worse than I've seen it before. Went through in a stock ram 2500 rebel and it was rough. 4wd low was used as well as lockers, mainly for the slippery exposed rocks

Beautiful ride, first 9 miles very simple a little washed edges due to severe rain in the past 3 days. Last 4 miles was very interesting 4 wheel high was fine except for a few places we're 4 wheel low is recommended. Creek was extremely high, rock hills were wet and a little slick. Definitely had to negotiate small parts of the ride or you will get hung up or bottom out. Bumper deep through my mud puddles and creeks, my stock 2014 2 door wrangler was fine over all.
