Trail Difficulty Ratings – the following ratings are for dry conditions. The effects of rain and/or snow can increase the difficulty level considerably. When in doubt, err on the side of caution and NEVER ride impaired.

  • Trail Rating 1

    Dirt road maintained for high clearance. 2WD and 4WD use in adverse conditions.

  • Trail Rating 2

    Dirt road with infrequent or light maintenance after rain and/or snow. High clearance light duty 4WD required.

  • Trail Rating 3

    Trail consisting of loose rocks, dirt, and sand with some slick rock surfaces, mud holes possible, no steps/ledges higher than 12″. 4WD is required and aggressive tires are suggested.

  • Trail Rating 4

    Trail consisting of loose rock, dirt, and sand with some slick rock surfaces. Some erosion, washes, gulches, and steps/ledges no higher than 18″. Tall tires (33″+) and limited slip would be a plus. 4WD is required. Enhanced suspension travel and good ground clearance are helpful. Good driving skills a plus.

  • Trail Rating 5

    Trail surfaces are rutted, rocky, and sandy with steps/ledges not exceeding 24″, with considerable slick rock surfaces. Water not exceeding 12″ deep with some mud possible. 4WD, tall tires (33″+) and traction adding devices (locker, limited slip) are required. A winch would be a plus. Enhanced suspension travel and good ground clearance are a plus. Above average driving skills are desirable.

  • Trail Rating 6

    Trails with difficult and considerable erosion damage, loose rocks, dirt, and slick rock. Water in excess of 12″ deep is possible with mud conditions. Steps/ledges not exceeding 36″. 4WD, tall tires (33″+) with two traction adding devices (lockers, limited slips) are required. A winch would be a plus. Enhanced suspension travel and good ground clearance are a plus. Excellent driving skills are recommended.

  • Trail Rating 7

    Trail consists of rock, sand, and considerable slick rock with many steps/ledges exceeding 48″. Steep inclines and declines are prevalent. Enhanced off road equipment is required including front and rear lockers, 35″+ tires, maximum vehicle ground clearance, tow hooks, and a winch. Excellent driving skills are required. Vehicle mechanical or body damage is likely. Roll over possibilities exist.

  • Trail Rating 8

    Extreme trail similar to #7, except a bit more extreme. Same equipment required as #7. Excellent driving skills are required. Vehicle mechanical or body damage is likely. Roll over possibilities exist.

  • Trail Rating 9

    Extreme and beyond. The average well-equipped trail rig may have great difficulty in completing these trails. Steps/ledges exceeding 60″. Steep inclines and declines with off-camber sections are prevalent. Enhanced off-road equipment is required including front and rear lockers, tall tires (37″+), maximum ground clearance, tow hooks, and a winch. Minimum wheelbase 100″. Excellent driving skills are required. Vehicle mechanical or body damage is likely. Roll over is very common. Spare parts and tools are recommended.

    Let the carnage begin! This is buggy territory. Street driven 4×4’s should not attempt these trails. Modified factory vehicles will not be able to complete these trails.
