Difficulty

Difficult: Although most of the route is easy to moderate, the northern loop is extremely steep and narrow. Be very careful as ruts and washouts are constantly changing. Turn around if necessary. Modified vehicles are best, but a skilled driver can do this trail in an aggressive stock high clearance SUV.
