- Comment: This is a nice moderate trail with a few rock gardens and a few ledges. If you look close enough at the pics you’ll see what I call skull rock. To give you an idea of what it might take to get through the trail. This trail has been completed by a Cherokee on 32″ tires and lockers front and rear, it has also been completed by a Jeep on 35″ tires with open differentials. SxSs have also accomplished this trail. There are some by-passes.
