This trail has two very distinct halves. The first stretch is packed with technical rocky climbs and a few tight squeezes when running from the south end. Body damage IS possible! The second half becomes more of a backcountry drive that may have washouts and takes time to cover. The split point is identifiable by a windmill and a nearby water tank. The windmill is in a shaded area and makes a nice place to stop for lunch. If you make it to the windmill, retracing your steps back the way you came in is more fun and faster than continuing to the north exit.
Remember to be mindful of local residents, human and bovine, when entering and exiting the trail. Kicking up a lot of dust and unplanned meetings with cows are both frowned upon.
