Trail Overview

The trail has a mix of rock, water, stunning views, and mud. Winches are highly recommended. Stay out of the bay and stay on the trail. A Jeep badge can be earned by completing the loop. The first half of the trail has mild climbs and some mud and water. After the trail goes along the beach and returns into the woods, you are nearing the tank traps. (get your recovery gear ready)

Tank Traps are very dry after the first two traps. The first of traps is passable, the second might stop you. The rest and bone dry and extremely deep. The stairs are still a blast even after construction, and hard to beat the view.

Tank traps were super rutted but mostly dry. If it wouldn’t have a been dry, with the bypass, I would not have been able to make it with my mere 2” lift and 30s. The trip, one way, was about 2 hours with a stop at Shale Beach.
