Definitely a step up from Onion Creek. Only problematic spot is near the entrance from Onion, a sandy descent near the gate, probably more difficult going up without damaging the trail than our going down.

I would definitely rate this trail a 4-5 due to how bumpy & rough it is. Pretty bumpy the whole time until you hit north beaver mesa. The north end switchbacks past hideout campground that take you into fisher valley are very deteriorated & there are some very deep incised washouts. This north end part was the most difficult.

I rated this a 4 as it was clearly a little more technical than Onion Creek. It was very beautiful and really fun trail. I would recommend giving yourself some time to get through and take pictures. There was almost no cell service going through Onion Creek and most of this trail so keep that in mind. Overall it's my favorite trail so far.
