This is for higher clearance 4x4 suvs. The first half of the route is very chill and mostly scenic with a few holes on the road. Once you reach the mountains, you enter a small valley between two mountains that are very rocky with large rocks. Managed to do it with a 4x4 2004 xterra with 32” mud tires with a 1” lift. If you get in a bad spot, it is very difficult to turn back since it is mostly downhill the whole time. Once you exit the boundary of the national park, make sure you exit the trail on the asphalt road at the gun range. If you keep going (like we did) you will reach a dead end. This was our first major off roading experience the we timed poorly and did the hard parts at night which made it more difficult even with exterior flood lights. Overall a great trail and possible to complete with the right clearance.
