Easy up to third till last marker. Included photo of hardest spot which is pretty close to metal pole where wilderness starts so not really worth going over. Slow beautiful drive.

Ran this trail with a friend last night after the snow. I would assume with a rating of 5, this trail would be really tough when you throw 6-inches of snow into the mix, but it ended up being pretty easy. There were only a couple of dug-out sections that just took a decent line to get through (even for my friend in a 4th gen 4Runner with no lockers). I'd probably rate it closer to a 3 or maybe 3-4. All in all its a fun trail that was even more beautiful in the snow.

I’d give it a 4. I was able to do it with a 2” lifted Trailblazer in 4hi (in the summer). Very isolated trail, if you breakdown it’s a looong walk. Plan accordingly.

A storm a few days prior left about 2 ft of snow in places. From the Paiute trailhead it appears, the trail was broke only for a short distance. Its a rugged trail as described by Dennis in his review and from my own summer experience driving it, I did not want to take the risk of going off-trail and encountering an unseen obstacle.

Lots of people on this trail. It’s beautiful up there. Stock with a little lift made this super easy. You will definitely want to air down though. Perfect camping spots on this and Coldwater.

Easy trail, some optional spots may require a bit of vehicle articulation but all of those encounters had bypasses. Passed through no problem in an FJ60 4WD in 4hi with 33in tires and a stock 2WD 2nd gen 4runner running 29s. No scrapes or scratches. YP 11 & 12 displayed there is incorrect. You can drive to both of them as they are next to each other and well before the wilderness boundary. They are located aprox. 34.315073, -117.610854. Pictured below is YP11. NOTE: Any significant snowfall could drastically increase the difficulty of this trail to near impossible! I came back during January and I could not reach the start of it with 3+ inches of snow covering. Got stuck multiple times due to boulders and tree stumps hidden beneath the snow and turned around.

I was curious to see how challenging this 5-5 rated trail would really be. My non-lifted Jeep YJ and my brother-in-law’s non-lifted TJ both made plenty of contact with rocks on the trail, although nothing actually proved too much for the little Jeeps on 31” tires. Our friend’s lifted TJ on 33”s rolled through with no problems whatsoever. This trail would probably be way more challenging for most stock mid or full-size 4x4s due to the trail’s tight and rocky nature toward the end. Overall it was lots of fun and was a beautiful area to wheel.

Ventured with 3 other off road vehicles to explore this trail. It actually goes much further than into the mountains than shown. We had 2 FJs, a Bronco II and a 4Runner. When we got deep toward the end of the trail, 4wd is a must, but for the rest of the trail, it probably could be done in 2wd. Overall a fun place to explore for something different.

A rugged infrequently visited trail that follows a dry at the time creek bed to the west and terminated at Sheep Mountain Wilderness. While the trail continuous past the border, be careful to follow Dennis's instructions because no motor vehicles are allowed in the Wilderness and if caught there by a Ranger there is a heft fine. The trail is challenging but easily conquered by a stock JKU.
