Trail Overview
The trail begins on a dirt road just off Highway 395 and quickly descends into a lush valley. In this valley, the path follows a creek, winding in and out of dense vegetation. At times, the vehicle feels like it's traveling through a tunnel formed by the overhanging trees and greenery. While the trail is not particularly challenging, drivers are rewarded with abundant greenery and the soothing presence of the running creek. To tackle this route, it is recommended to have vehicles equipped with 33-inch or larger tires, at least one locker, and to travel with a second 4x4 vehicle in case one gets stuck.

Difficulty
The trail can be tight to squeeze through with your vehicle and pinstriping is almost guaranteed. 33" tires and a rear locker minimum is advised to clear and get over the rocks in the creek. A small lift would benefit the driver as well.
