Trail Overview
This trail is fairly easy up to the turn-off to Goober Pond. There's only one area that 4WD is suggested, and that is a loose rock washout that goes down a very long steep drop. Other than that one spot, the beautiful scenic trail can be done in 2WD. After the turn-off for Goober Pond, the trail gets very loose and very tight. It gets well overgrown and your vehicle will most likely get paint damage at a minimum, most likely minor body damage due to heavy tree overgrowth. Pictures could not be taken of the overgrowth area because the overgrowth makes it impossible to exit the vehicle. There are 2 beautiful campsites on this trail; the first is only a half mile from where this track starts, set across from a small waterfall, but the site itself is at a small creek with a small waterfall of its own. The other site is at Goober Pond (separate track).

Difficulty
The road for the most part is loose gravel, with only minor difficulties depending on the weather. There is one short stretch of extremely loose rock slide that drops down a cliff.
