I selected this route due to its easy rating (1-3)and proximity to Hemet. I am a new Jeep Wrangler owner and thought at least I could calibrate the Trailsoffroad ratings with a try of my own. Well for me I found Juan DIego Flat a bit difficult and at one point with a large rock in the middle of the road I turned around. Up to that point it was challenging and a bit scary. So I have to dial back the Trailsoffroad ratings a bit for me and stick to the 1-2 level for now. I turned around probably within a 1/2 mile after the split between 7s04 and 6s22. On the way up I saw a good 6 ft long Diamond back rattler sunning in the middle of the road and on the way back I was able to rescue a vehicle that got stuck in the deep soft sand near the Tripp Flats entrance. WHile I was humbled by this road, the stock Jeep Wrangler did great. Ive attached some pictures. The center photo is where I turned around and is located at N33° 35.816' W116° 47.034'.
Thanks Robin, the 1st mile of Juan Diego Flats is Black Diamond! Bypass is further up Red Mountain on the left. It can be scary!
