Trail is fairly narrow and starting to be slightly overgrown, I had to pull several vines and branches out of the way to avoid scratching the girlfriends brand new rig. (if I was in mine I wouldnt have cared)It was a bit muddy but the water holes seemed to have a pretty firm sandy.rocky bottom for the most part, the biggest water hole came up to the bottom of the rockers on a bronco with 35s
