Bill Moore Lake

On a dry day this trail can be a 6-7/10 if it was snowed out I don’t think it would be possible to make it all the way to the lake. This trail is a good challenging ride for a slight experienced off roader. They’re alternative routes on the trail which I had accidentally taken on the way back that pose challenging obstacles. If you have more than 35inches of tire, a decent lift and a rear locker. Then it should be a cake walk. Did not expect it to be as challenging as it was based off other reports. This trail would get new riders sweating. Only one other truck I saw up there and it was a Tacoma on 37s. Don’t forget to disconnect your sway bars and throw it into 4-low occasionally.

Trail almost completely dry. Rocky in some areas but somewhat flat most areas. I had my sway bar disconnected. Didn't use my lockers. If the trail was wet/muddy some areas would be tricky. Amazing view once you reach the lake! Water is clear. Groundhog was on poser rock.

The trail is free of snow drifts, so making it up to the lake is possible! Just be ready for a bunch of mosquitoes as you're on approach. Using bug repellant on your vehicle's entrances (door frames, window frames) can help reduce them if you're running with a solid top. Some parts of the trail will need some gumption to get up, like the first switchback not too far from the small parking area. A stocko taco was able to do it with a bit of a run. Be ready for loose rock in many parts of the trail, but overall it is pretty accessible! Wheel placement and differential awareness will help out on much of the trail, otherwise it's a steady-as-it-goes run.

I would not have this at a 7 as we did have a stock 4 runner do it as well as a stock Range Rover. They took easier lines but it’s doable. Open all the way. Drift snow is gone but mud is very present where snow normally is
