Trail Information

Highlights

One of the lesser known trails of Holcomb Valley, 3N12C / 2N09F / 2N09A is a great little trail to get out into the forest and get away from the crowds. In dry conditions, this is a great trail for new drivers. But when it gets wet, this is probably the muddiest trail in the Holcomb Valley area. The mud is known to get over 36 inches deep and is a sticky mess that will swallow even built up trucks.

Great entry level trail for first timers or stock “off road vehicles”. Trail has small rut’s and easy enough hill climbs to keep you alert. With a few spots to camp off the grid.

It was Wet and the description is spot on about the Mud. I'm sure the rating is probably spot on in Dry conditions, but in the wet it's a whole different beast.
