Trail Difficulty and Assessment

Trail Navigation

China Wall in the Pike National Forest is a 3.8-mile out-and-back dirt and rock track. There are several obstacles with no bypasses. If you don’t go slow and follow the right lines, you will hit bottom on this one. This trail gets very little snow in the winter, so it will be one of the first to open in the spring.

Ran China Wall, China Wall North and FS 204 on 10/22, trails in great condition for fall wheeling. Ratings are spot on with some nice challenges consistent with a 5 rated trail. Trails Offroad crew definitely needs to add FS 204, this combined with the rest creates a great loop.

China wall is a little bit of everything trail. Little sand, some mud, several rock obstacles. Moat have bypasses but unless you're bone stock might as well hit them. 1 is mandatory but not really technical if you have a spotter or pick the right line

Nice easy trial that I believe most stock 4x4’s could do. Take it all the way to the river for a nice picnic lunch then run box canyon on your way out to add a little spice to the trail.
