Trail Overview

Pretty simple road during the summer months that cuts over to Robbie Creek. A nice alternate route to Hwy 21, or a good road to access the ridge road. The winter months can vary depending on snowpack. It is not maintained east of the summit. Full size vehicles would be a handful in spots, and the east side is usually dead-ended with a large mound of snow from the lack of snow plow turnaround.

Difficulty

Rain ruts and washouts are very likely in the spring. Snow can make some deep ruts, but a stock 4x4 is capable enough.

I marked the trail as open but there was a closed sign knocked over at the start of the trail. People were driving in and out so I gave it a try. I started on the east end and drove my sxs all the way to Boise with no issue.

Washboard
The main trail has some wash board and slight water runoff but would probably take a low clearance vehicle without much worries. Depending on the side trail you take, you may run into deeper ruts and more of a “4WD” style climb. Turned around about half way through the trail to head back. A lot of UTVs and runner/bicyclist so be careful around those turns! Watch out for rattlesnakes as well.

Snow/Ice
About 2ft of fresh snowfall hit the trail between the 5th-13th of January. Trail is passable however you will want at least 12” of clearance, chains or oversized tires & use the buddy system, winch was used on 3 rigs today!
