Difficulty

This trail is pretty narrow, it is just wide enough for one vehicle at a time. The ruts are quite noticeable, around 8-12 inches deep and 12-24 inches wide. Plus, there are overhanging trees along the way that might be an issue for taller vehicles, so some trimming might be necessary. You'll also encounter larger rocks scattered throughout, adding to the terrain and requiring some careful maneuvering.
