    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 ...

    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.

    This is a relatively easy trail IF you have some type of a lift. I talked to a guy who said he did it in a stock truck, but the whole trail is filled with tons of incredibly deep ruts. The guy said that when it rains, it...

    Basically you are driving up a large washout. There are a few times you will need to cross through the river. Basically go until you are bored and turn around. It is more of a sight-seeing trip than and offroading trip. ...

    With a foot of fresh snow earlier in the week, mixed with warm weather we were unable to climb a couple hills to make it to the lake. We tried both ways. There was thick ice on most hills beneath the snow.

    Margaret Lake - tried to get there but the roads were too icy to get past this point. Few Rubicons and ATV had to turn around too. Likely need chains to get up this time of year.
