Fun trail. Very easy technically but my gosh is it bumpy. Lots of small groves and bumps. My jeep was bouncing the whole way up. My 3 year old was exhausted by the time we got to the top to stop for food. Very pretty trail though. I seen a few Subarus going up so not very hard just bumpy and rough the whole way. Lots of cool spots to explore and camp when weather gets a bit cooler. The town at the top was just OK. Same for the food at the restaurant. Expensive as well. $90 for 5 people. Would do the trail again but skip the town and food.

Easy cruise; saw many front wheel drive sedans on the trek.

The first 7 miles appears to have recently been graded, as it was very smooth. After that there were a few spots of washboard, but nothing terrible.
