| 5.0 | 10 | Extreme Technical Trail. 5-15 foot rock ledges and crevices; large boulders, steep inclines and off camber situations. Tight squeezes and possibility of rollovers. Few, if any, alternate routes. Depending on wheelbase, vehicles may have problems with breakover angles, and all may have to use a winch or strap. Body and tire damage likely. Trail may be impassible and realistically should be run with a fully modified rock buggy. |
Note: Trail ratings are highly subjective. A trail that is easy for an experienced driver with a highly modified vehicle may be impassable for a novice driver in a stock vehicle. Weather conditions may also significantly affect the difficulty of a trail. Also, the difficulty of a trail may change over time, as trail use, weather, and maintenance modify the trail. Always check with the managing organization and/or recent users before planning a trip on a trail and scout ahead on foot if you are not sure of current conditions.
