It's not a hard trail. The hardest spot is the squeeze. The trail loops back to where you start.

It is a trail you want to do in conjuction with another trail it is real short. There is one good spot back there that is reall nasty, but there is a bypass. I would say it is pretty easy trail no lockers needed unless you do optional line. I will attach pictures of that nasty spot.

Man, been a long time since I ran that trail. Really fun little loop, with some great views from the top. Like mentioned earlier, it makes a nice add-on when you're out running another trail...for example, Elvis and Martinez are nearby.

And Kyle...see my last attached pic. Deja Vu?!?!? :confused: :eek: :D That red YJ has really changed now, so further surprises me at how long ago these pics were taken!

Looks nothing like it starts out to be I only went up past the first obstical, the little waterfall/squeeze area and then we realized we were on the wrong trail so we turned back but I would like to run it all the way when my rig is fixed in a few weeks if anybody is up for it.

All those pics we posted were of a completely optional line/area. The trail actually goes up and over a hill (out of wash and back in) taking you around this difficult area.

JH is a very nice little trail. Not sure how built your rig is, but a little lift and 31's should get you through the main trail.

If you went through narrow waterrfall that is the hardest part if you stay on trail.

Yea Tom the red jeep has gone through some serious cosmetic sugery:D
