Difficulty

This trail is rated a two because it's not a maintained road but it's really not difficult at all. It's not recommended for passenger cars, but a truck/SUV with A/T tires and 4WD/AWD should have no problem. The road is fairly smooth until about a mile or two towards the end; there, you'll need to pick lines between some stones to have a pleasant drive if you're aired up. Mind your momentum on the uphill sandy sections.
