Trail Overview

If you have done Peak 10, this is the little road and Lake you are staring down at. Crystal Road is usually combined with Spruce Creek Road, although the connector between them is no longer open. Spruce Creek is a popular hiking area on weekends to the Mayflower and Mohawk Lakes, but few people use Crystal. Both are street legal only roads.

The lower trail is open. Lots of cars and hikers. The upper Crystal lake road is closed with a gate at both locations. The lower trail takes you to around 1/4-1/2 mile from the lower lake. It was a beautiful day and zero issues for our 4 door Rubicon. I was able to complete the whole lower trail in 4H part time. I did disconnect my sway bar just for easier riding but definitely not needed. Lockers necessary at all. Could have probably done it all in 2wd. There are a couple of obstacles where SUVs with low clearance could get high centered or scrape, but nothing impassable.
