Beautiful fun trail. It is a 4 for sure, so expect some grinding in a stock vehicle. The hardest parts are series of ledges that you must climb. We also had a final obstacle that is a 5 that we could not go around. The bypass was closed. Video attached below. Fun trail.

This is a great run for a warm up of Moab’s difficult trails. Some small challenges to wet the appetite for more difficult trails. Rating is spot on, including a stop for lunch, we spent just under 5 hours on the trail.

I wouldn't feel comfortable rating the trail since we only did a few waypoints. The first part was definitely a challenge for our Grand Cherokee Trailhawk. There are many sharp rocks and some steep ledges that require patient crawling with frequent spotting. High clearance, 4-low, and aired-down all-terrains are a must. For the section we did, the mandatory difficulty rating of 4 seems very appropriate. I think the trail is much more appropriate for more capable vehicles than ours.

We only ran part of the trail, we really enjoyed the challenge of the ledges. The entrance is really rough and with loose rocks. Definitely air down to avoid any tire damage. Rubicon on 35s Stock Bronco Wildtrack

I will say the rating is spot on however it's miles of rock cropping, ledges and more rocks. Only a couple of technical obstacles that can be bypassed. Just a long day of getting bounced around. Uranium arch was awesome. The view points were awesome. It was a great day
