This is my back yard my friends and I do this trail all the time even at night it's a tough trail but very fun and challenging at the same time and the creek runs through it in a few different places witch makes it a very nice trail to stop and enjoy the scenery because it's beautiful out there

The best fun anyone could have is rock crawling. We did encounter a stuck and abandoned Grand Cherokee at the worst spot but got around easily enough. Two of us completed the trail in 1.5 hrs.
