Itinerary description

Fun trail that is half a very rough gravel road and half a beginner style off road trail. I did it in a stock Tucson with 6.5" clearance. Go slow, be careful, and anyone can do the trail. Beware of the hill leading down into the river valley. It is steep, narrow, and bumpy. Still doable for a novice, but be careful.
