    Full loop to Ruby Falls, this is a fun and intense trail, lots of river crossing and some muddy areas plus a huge mud pit near the west entrance. Definitely not suitable for stock trucks! Worth the trip!

    I've done this trail a few times on my quad. bought my 1st Jeep and attempted last week (March 11, 2023). failed. too de...

    Gravel road start to rocky river bed. Pretty easy driving for any skill with some softer river crossing and beautiful views.

    Great place to camp and have fun, trails are a bit tight, so a full size pick up probably won't be able to do all the trails I did, but could fit in most of them. I'm in a 3rd gen 4runner and had zero issues, hardly need...

    Made it all the way to the water with my 2018 Rav4 awd. Some really tight turns, vehicle can’t be too large. A proper 4x...

    First half is easy, accessible by almost any vehicle. Second half is tree line with steep inclines, large ruts, and lots of mud. Fun just after a big rain.

    Trail is closed for Offroading but is nice to hike as well, with beautiful views of the mountains and alpine areas.

    Trail has washout halfway and so you must detour between some tight trees and I barely fit with my Rubicon 2 door.
