Very scenic trail that was very enjoyable in our truck. It is very rough in some places and snow is beginning to stick to parts of the trail. Saw lots of other people out on the trail including trucks, Jeeps, dirt bikes, bikers, joggers, and even a Subaru.

Rain/snow the night before made for a nice, dust free ride. Typical trail condition for Rollins - rough and rocky. Not many people, maybe five rigs all day.

Very, very rocky and rutted out. Great views at the top! Not too difficult, it’s just a slow 12 miles each way with all the rock gardens.

Wet and rocky. Pretty bumpy trail no challenge for anything with some ground clearance didn’t need 4wd. Great views good place to go spend sometime with loved ones and relax. If anyone wonders there was no way I could find to get to the west side of the trail so it’s a there a back trail.
