Trail was easy, with a couple semi steep climbs but did it 2wd (Yukon Grizzly in rear)until the Tunnel. Water came up to step on Jeep at deepest point. Great ride though the tunnel and overall scenic getting there and back. Had a burger at Daves before heading back to Butte. I entered at High Ore Rd and come out at Jefferson City. 👍

Great trail. A lot of fun getting there. Tunnel was a cool experience. My full size Ram 3500 Prospector XL on 40s did it no problem. Water in the Tunnel was up to the bottom of my door.

Rocky and steep in some sections 4low was definitely nice to have, water was 2ish feet deep, definitely lapping up to the headlights of my mostly stock Tacoma. Very fun trail though

Super fun trail, tunnel was filled to the brim with water, covered my headlights but was super fun and didn’t reach my intake. nearly stock Tacoma with just a 3 inch lift and 33s, super dusty trail but was really fun. Loose rocks up to about a foot tall ruts 1-2 ft deep, VERY FUN THOUGH! Watch out for nails in the tunnel though
