The road is as flat as can be ... but pretty scenery.

That doesn't seem like much fun.

It used to be a lot of fun and a lot of good side trails but they just took a bunch of tractors up there and flattened out the main road completely and a few of the side trails. There are still a few good side trails that are fun but if you have anything more serious than a stock or lightly modified jeep it probably wont be worth your time.

To get to the waterfalls you have to drive like 20-30min on a flat dirt road all the way till it ends. You then have to take the "west horse thief" trail by foot for a couple miles. If youre in to hiking its a really nice trail and a fun day hike.

Just did it with my son this weekend. Nothing to speak of for off roading but a nice hike.

It gets more fun with Rain and when you hit the fire roads off to the side. There is a JK Member coming in the weekend of the 10th and I think we are going to organize a fun run out there.. The rocky area is still fun...the main road is just a pleasant drive...but the fire roads are pretty steep and we have seen people get overconfident (in trucks not jeeps) and go over the side.

Here are a few videos
