Great trail. Would not hit it without high clearance, 4wd, and low range. Great views. The last section before the sand dunes is super steep, rocky, and sketchy. We went in a lifted Trailblazer with oversized LT tires and it did pretty well.

Most of the trail is a well groomed road, it gets more difficult and rougher as you go. I wouldn’t call it a “4” until you make the turn on to Little Government Creek Rd. From there on its narrow steep and rocky. Lots of side by sides ATVs and dirt bikes.
