I can say is we are definitely coming back to Coyote Flats. Exercise care going up the switchbacks but you should do fine in 4 low. After you cross the creek on the way to the flats, water was running on the road which has caused some erosion so beware of a rut or two. We only took the 32E303 section down to the Baker Summit trailhead. Including a stop at the trailhead for lunch, this trip took about 4 hours. You don’t want to forget your camera for this one!

A rough climb that will require a little more clearance than an “aggressive stock SUV”. Our XJ has a 2″ lift with 30″ tires and still scrapped several times. However, there are lovely views along the way. We discovered a sidewall puncture a little past the first water crossing which forced an end to our progress on the trail (we only carry one spare). We plan to return and complete the trail soon – the trail is certainly worth another go!

Appropriately rated trail. Keep your speed down, engage low range, use lockers if you have them and pick a good line on the switchbacks heading up and you'll be just fine. Stock 06' Land Cruiser with 32s did just fine. Fun track for sure.
