Kokopelli Trail (Onion Creek to Andy Mesa)

Stock 2011 Subaru Outback - started from Onion Creek and went eastward (clockwise) Three areas of difficulty. One was a super steep downhill with a sideways lean - soon after Hideout Camping Area (38.69728, -109.18794) Second was a series of ledges - we laid out rocks and branches to smooth it out and drive across (38.69729, -109.18790) Third was a snowy switchback where we started down into the inside of the turn and starting sliding down into the bank - I had let out of the tires and cleared the snow with my crampons to gain traction and we made it through but it felt like the edge of possibility. Would have been fine without snow. Chains would have worked here. (38.70136, -109.18080). Overall a challenging drive. Took us just shy of 6 hours. Not sure I would do it again frankly, especially with the snow present. Got pretty deep on Polar Mesa.

Definitely a step up from Onion Creek. Only problematic spot is near the entrance from Onion, a sandy descent near the gate, probably more difficult going up without damaging the trail than our going down.

perfect blend of scenery and riding challenge on a CT125

I would definitely rate this trail a 4-5 due to how bumpy & rough it is. Pretty bumpy the whole time until you hit north beaver mesa. The north end switchbacks past hideout campground that take you into fisher valley are very deteriorated & there are some very deep incised washouts. This north end part was the most difficult.
