Ran this from North to South and glad that we did. The hill would have probably turned us around had we needed to go up instead of down. The southern half of the trail is VERY rocky and a bit more technical than the northern half. I had no issues with a 1.5" lift and Milestar XT tires on my R51 Pathfinder. We managed to get a brand new Bronco Sport Badlands through the whole trail with minor bruising underneath. I would say this trail rates higher than the app says. At least a 4.

Beautiful sights on this trail & not very difficult, it is however a fairly rocky trail with a lot of loose rocks that force you to drive a bit slow. The only challenging part is the hill climb but its fairly short. My friend was able to complete it in his lifted x3

This trail is awesome. The views are amazing and the trail difficulty is spot on. It is a bit busy out there with UTV and other off-road vehicles. There are some blind corners so vigilant when coming around. I would recommend this trail. The climb is loose coming up the hill so pick your line carefully. We stayed to the right which made it a little easier.

Did the route south to north. Lots of fun. A few sketchy bits, including the hill mentioned by several people. On my way onto the main trail going north I had to wait for a group of 20 or so Wranglers coming the opposite direction. One of them made a wisecrack about my "Fiat". But I had no problems with my stock Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk.
