Magpie Creek to Avalanche Creek

So this trail had to be split into two days for me. Day 1 I entered via Avalanche Gulch road and made it halfway through before I high centered myself and got stuck on a hard to see snow drift, the drift can be easily bypassed so don’t get stuck like me. After I dug myself out it was close to dark and I went home. Aside from the snow drift, that entire half of the trail was very tame and was a 2-3 difficulty rating. I came back the next day and entered through the other side on Magpie Gulch road, once again it was a very tame ride until I got to the fork between the magpie creek to avalanche creek trail and the magpie gulch trail. I continued on the blue trail and it turned into a 5 difficulty rating (very rocky, rutted, off camber, steep, and slow going) for the duration of the way until the magpie gulch trail connected back again. Once that happened the difficulty went back to a 2-3 rating.

extremely mild if you stay on the blue route. We did this so that we could scout some better areas. if you follow the blue route you won't need 4wd but in one spot thats a very steep rocky hill. so I had to use 4wd once on the entire trip. a little disappointing if I'm being honest. definitely not a 4/10 like the app suggested. maybe a 3 but more like a 2. any Honda pilot can do this if they go slow and follow the path.

There is a lot of burned areas but mostly open. There are some trails blocked by fallen trees
