Not a very difficult trail when it's dry, but I could see where if you had spring runoff or it was raining, it would be a B***h! Nice little rock garden in the first mile to test your diff strength and the grip of your "shoes". Couple of nice flex shots in this area too. Then it's uphill for awhile, then downhill for awhile...then you arrive at the reservoir. Approx. 4.5 miles to the lake. Weather was good all day and I only had 6 mosquitos land on me the whole time. It did sprinkle for about an hour, but not enough to even put the top back on. Scenery is beautiful and I could see some excellent camping spots for future fishing trips. Here's the evidence:
Rock Garden Action!

Gettin' Twisty!

Obligatory Scenery Shots

Yes, there was a little MUD!

Headin' Home!

Thought the area b/t the trees looked like a cross. Pretty cool.

Like the way I drive?....You should see me crawl!
