Difficulty Accuracy: Spot On

This was a moderate trail. Pretty easy with a 4" lift and 35" tires. No spotter needed. However, with a 2021 4dr Bronco it was very close to pinstriping in some areas. I would be cautious about taking any longer/taller/wider vehicle down the trails unless you're ok with some character additions from trees.

The Trails have been reopened to vehicle travel. Travel is limited by downed trees from Dec 2021. These trails are being cleared by volunteers so conditions will change daily.

Calving Season is over, but Carson National Forest remains in Stage 3 Fire Restrictions, so no access is allowed in the forest of any kind.
