Trail Overview

IB 68 is a narrow, one-lane-width trail with uneven terrain, ruts, loose rocks, and scattered mud puddles. It features several steep descending sections, including a notable rock ramp with embedded ledges about a foot tall that can be slick in wet conditions. Fallen logs and deep ruts continue along a very steep slope, requiring careful tire placement. Due to the combination of steep grades and technical features, this trail is best suited for experienced drivers and is considered intermediate in difficulty.
