Difficulty

It would be wise to have front axle sway bar disconnect for small portions of this trail. Most of it if not all can be driven without 4 wheel drive depending on weather and recent rain caused terrain changes. There are a few steep climbs coming out of river beds, and sharp steep drop offs that require choice of line to traverse. Recent rain can cause several water filled mud pits, and deep ruts.
