Trail Overview

IB 86 is a very short but technical 100-yard advanced spur that climbs steeply through a narrow, one-lane ravine. The trail is filled with loose rock of varying sizes and features a tall vertical layer of embedded rock running up the middle. Drivers will encounter multiple natural rock shelves, a long, steep stair-step rock ramp that's slick and tough to maintain traction on, and deep ruts as the trail climbs. Near the top, a 2-foot undercut blunt rock shelf presents a final, significant obstacle that will be especially challenging for longer or lower-clearance vehicles.
