      I wouldn't recommend anything larger than a quad (preferably 4x4) up this trail. I've seen UTVs stuck half way up bc it's too narrow and there is no way to turn around. I go up on my dirt bike. The final switchback is steep and loose gravel but definitely doable.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
