Solid trail for a day trip, several camp sites along the trail. This trail was a great for the couple “obstacles” as well as the water crossings. More hiking traffic than other vehicles. Also so many beavers!
I’d say most stock 4x4s can make it with careful tire placement. YOU CAN SCARPE UNDERBODY so be careful!
I’d say 5/10 difficult
And 8/10 for the views

This was a fun trail. It was busy with hikers, bikers,atv’s and jeeps. Some very cool camp sites and lots of amazing views.
