It’s rough. Going from Lava Butte to this trail is not recommended. If you want to do this one, start up front and work your way towards lava butte. Extremely rough with jagged and sharp rocks. Crossing many huge rock beds that reach a few feet. I don’t think I’ll ever take this one again because it took a lot of patience and effort to make sure I cleared these rock formations without any damage. It’s rough

Enjoyed scenic mountain desert with red rocks and enough turns to keep it interesting - smooth ride, not too rough or rocky, and trail wide enough to avoid brush. Well maintained, but one section seems somewhat washed out with some boulders - would definitely need four wheel drive. We are in stock F150 Tremor. Also a steep incline to climb at the end. Overall, good trail for the Vegas area

Very fun twisty trail. Can run a decent speed and deal with tight hairpins and then straight aways. But must be cautious due to some sneaky smaller rock gardens that slow the pace. Awesome trail
