This is a very challenging trail recommended only for experienced off-road drivers with capable 4x4 vehicles. You'll encounter very steep and narrow sections, often on loose rock, where the trail can be 'tippy' or lean your vehicle significantly to one side – sometimes with a steep drop-off nearby! Expect large rocks, some forming ledges or 'walls' up to 3-4 feet high, and tricky rock gardens that require careful tire placement to avoid damage. Some switchbacks are very tight and have loose surfaces. Due to erosion, the trail has become even rockier over time. It's not recommended for stock vehicles or those new to off-roading. There's a significant risk of vehicle damage or even rolling if not navigated with extreme care. The trail has a maximum vehicle width restriction of 72 inches. It's strongly advised not to attempt this trail when wet, as conditions become extremely slick and dangerous.
