Very scenic road. Not sure I'd rate it as an easy 2 as there are several ledges and shelves. Some great photo ops here. The temp was 107 degrees. Make sure you have good tires as much of the road is very rocky. Stopping for photos and to talk to others pushed our in and out time to about 3 1/2 hours just for Harrah pass. A lot of ATV rental traffic that travels about twice the speed of stock 4 x4s. Harrah Pass itself has cell phone reception. If you are going to chicken corners plan on spending the whole day. Pack water. Unless you have extra lights on your rig I wouldn't try this at night unless you are looking for adventure.

Trail has lots of great views and is pretty easy to negotiate. I think the pass is a bit more rocky right now so I would say it is closer to a 2.5 and might need a hair more clearance to negotiate safely. Had a lot of traffic on the trail later in the day. Getting there early definitely helped. We were solo on the way in and 75% of the way out.

Hurrah Pass is very easy and is awesome but that means lots of traffic. Still worth it and if you're going that far you might as well do Chicken Corners which is also very long so it's a big day. Stunning views pretty much the whole time and a bunch of great parking spots.

One of my favorite trails. Recommend bumping to a 2-3 due to a new obstacle that formed from a washout half way up.

Absolute gorgeous drive up to the pass. A pretty easy drive up; watched two girls drive a Honda CR-V up to the top. These were some of the best views I've seen in Moab. Not a stressful drive up what-so-ever, especially for the views provided. I plan on doing this trail and camping on chicken corners every trip to Moab.

Fun and scenic as always, but brutally hot on this day. Ran in my stock full size Chevy leading a few built Toyotas from Venture Overland / Overland Bound's Rocks n Rockies event.

Nice and easy drive, fairly busy as it's one of the recommended trails for UTV rental companies. Lots of great views!

This pass is an easy drive with some really good view on the way, and some fun ledges to get some interesting pictures. Really enjoyed cruising up and down this one on my way to Chicken Corners. A couple stock SUVs trying to see how high up they could get, but otherwise it was a pretty quiet drive when I went.

A quick trip over Hurrah Pass to get to Chicken Corners was fun as usual. The view from the top is always memorable no matter how many times you have seen it. The trail rating has not changed.
