Finally got the chance to run this trail about 2 weeks ago on spring break. I had a blast... my wife not so much. She was afraid we were gonna go rolling off the side of the trail. I'd say about 75% of the trail was just like driving a gravel road but the other 25 was obstacles from moderate to difficult. The only place I had any problem at all was the narrow rocky spot with the big tree about 3/4ths through. My wife got out but wouldn't spot me and it made it tough to choose a line. I'm 99% sure I would've been able to get through it under power but out of an overabundance of caution and not wanted to hear my wife say I told you so, I winched myself through it and continued. I really just didn't want to take a chance of sliding sideways into that big tree. Otherwise, we got to see the bus and we had a picnic lunch alongside the creek and just enjoyed the scenery. As for my rig I'd say it performed great, 10/10. I did find out though that I'm gonna need to correct the driver's side lean that I've had ever since I lifted it. On a few occasions my LR tire scrubbed when bottomed out. The rh side never rubbed. Already ordered parts from Ironman and Toytec to correct this. One last thing. We went solo on a Tuesday which I don't recommend. We didn't have any problems but if we had we would have had no one to help. We didn't see another person or vehicle the whole trip. I'd recommend going with another vehicle or a group or go on the weekend when there's people around to help if you have trouble.
sorry I missed the invite a couple months ago or I would have met you. That trail definitely has some pucker factor on the off camber part you are refering to. If you are on the high side you usually slip down the rock about a foot towards the creek 25 feet down the cliff. The truck always seems to catch at the edge though. The first time I scouted it on my dual sport bike, then did it in the rain at night. PM me if you go again.

I will surely let you know when/if I go again. I think I'd enjoy it even more with someone else there. When you're by yourself and don't even see another vehicle it kind of makes you start thinking about what could go wrong and exactly what you would do if it did, lol.
