Difficulty

Difficult. One steep rocky section on the way to Storm Mountain gets chewed up at times. Most of the area is easy to moderate. Eastside loop is easier with a few rocky sections.

Status Reports

Icy and slick going up to the mountain peak, as well as some sections east. Make sure you have enough room between you and other rigs because you are likely to slide a bit. We had 20 rigs and everyone made it through without any issues.

We went to the top of Storm Mountain, rocky and loose rocks but overall a fun trail!

Got onto the trail from Pine Forest Way, gate was open. Turned left onto the trail from pine forest way. It was pretty technical at first and throughout in sections. If you can get through the start you can finish it, but there are not many places to turn around-you will need to commit
