Trail Overview

This is a serious rock garden and rock climb. Though not super steep, it's very technical due to the quantity and size of the rocks. Rock sliders and skid plates are strongly advised. You have to go significantly off-camber to get around the side of several large boulders, and it's not uncommon for machines to get teeter-tottered by it on two wheels more than once.

Difficulty

There's a rock garden that stretches quite a ways and requires going significantly off-camber in numerous places. There's a strong likelihood of rocker damage, undercarriage damage, body damage, differential impacts, etc. You'll need 30-inch tires or bigger or you will probably need to be towed out. In several spots, you end up teeter-tottering on 2 wheels doing a Jeep wave. The trail is also narrow; larger 4x4 vehicles likely will have difficulty fitting through the choke points. Even lifted UTVs struggle with this one.
