Trail was fairly easy. Sand wasn’t too soft. Creek crossings were easy. Up towards site 2.5 it’s gets rocky but nothing that can’t be handled with proper 4x4 and clearance.

Started on south end and the first third was done in 2wd after about halfway the trail had large rocks and deep holes that took a lot longer to maneuver and it took almost 4 hours to complete.

Trail was fun. Sand was wet in the beginning. Some wash outs but not too bad. Creek crossings around 1.5-2’ deep. Started sleeting on me and peaks were getting hit with a lot of snow.

Beautiful ride including 10 or 12 water crossings. I believe the 4 rating is slightly low.
