This is a fun quick trail is you like to see your Jeep on 2 or 3 wheels. A quick trail with some V-notch fun and rock climbing fun. When you get to the end turn-around and do it in the other direction for a different experience. My co-pilot/wife did this trail and it was her first red/difficult trail. Raised her adrenaline a little, but she did great!

Fun, challenging trail. Some snow but nothing to worry about until the next system.

Did Saran Wrap as part of Eagle Rock trail and was there to do a little scouting for a group run coming up so wanted to check difficultly. Overall, it is a challenging trail but nothing a built rig can't do. Saran Wrap is easier than Eagle Rock but there are sections where you can make it even harder.

Updating this trail rating to 5 due to erosion, deeper ruts, and more exposed/larger rock. The ruts at Waypoint 4 are now approaching 30" deep which increases the pucker factor. The smoother "easy line" remains as a bypass. There is now a rock ledge at Waypoint 3, roughly 24" high and slightly off-camber. This is a fun road, but certainly no longer suggested for stock 4x4 rigs.

100% clear of snow and debris. I entered this trail from the west entrance at the end of the day as we were heading back to COS; I had no knowledge of what I was about to get into, but was pleasantly surprised once we got into it. As noted in another review, the rating seems a little low but I wouldn't let that discourage anyone from trying this nice loop. I am running 35's and a 2.5" lift on a JLUR and didn't have any issues; no scrapping on rocks and fit between all the narrow trees without brushing my mirrors. It is not a picturesque trail with spectacular views, but the obstacles and photo-ops of your rig performing on this trail makes up for it. I look forward to doing this trail again from the east entrance.

Did this after Mt Baldy and was much more technical than I anticipated. Uphill sections weren't too bad, but be careful with some of the off cambers. Couple sections in particular we were at 26 degrees. I'd rate this more difficult than moderate with some sections being a 5-6. Definitely recommend having a lift and good tires. Most of the trail was narrow and line selection is crucial to avoid damage. Lots of fun if you want a short trail to test your vehicle and get some good photos, but not as scenic as the other trails in the area.

The downhill decent, is extremely Rocky. Way more so than I thought it would be. Other than that, the uphill parts I felt I couldn't make in my LR4, there was always a another way to get up.

Ran in the afternoon and there was no snow and very dry. Trail was in typical condition with no noticeable major changes from previous trips.

Went to Saran Wrap as part of a club trail clean-up; was a big event combining multiple clubs from Colorado Springs with support from the USFS (trucks, trailers, etc.)
Allowed my 17-year old son to drive the trail, so he was ecstatic for the chance to drive. Trail conditions are good, in fact my perception is that Saran Wrap is easier driven from the west to the east (reverse of how depicted in the GPS track). The V-notch is certainly not as sharp as it was last year.
Now, Saran Wrap is much cleaner thanks to the efforts of several Colorado Springs 4x4 clubs. Please, lets keep it this way!

Gold Camp road had recently been reopened so a small group of us went to check out the nearby trails. A recent storm had just come through a few days prior and dropped about 6 inches of snow on the trail. On the day we were on the trail, it was extremely warm for late November so the snow from the storm was melting pretty fast.
The trail ranged from a few inches of snow in the shade, to dry dirt in the sun. We ran the trail backwards compared to this guide but had no issues at all completing the trail. If you avoid the 370DA spur, I don't feel the trail deserves a 6-7 rating. There are a lot of washout spots that will test your suspension flex, but there are no major obstacles. Running it the direction we traveled (reverse of the guide) you are driving up the hill described in waypoint 4, and even with some snow it wasn't too bad.
Just for comparison sake, all the Jeep in our group had 37'' tires and lockers front and rear. For those types of vehicles, this is a moderate trail. For a completely small tire, stock vehicle, this trail certainly will be a challenge. Be sure to check out the very big boulders on the 370DA spur at waypoint 3. That is where all of my pictures are taken.
