Trail was great! Getting to the trail from the interstate I-40 was a little odd. You’ll be traveling 40 west and when you see the Harmon Den sign the trail starts at the end of the guardrail so get into the emergency lane on the right. After you turn in there are a few houses just about 300 yds in. After that you’ll hit the first campsite and water crossing. Beautiful scenery through the entire trail. Only a couple of sections that you’ll need to be cautious through. Other than that most vehicles can make it. A few narrow places along the trail. Would certainly help to have 4wd and mud tires.
