HOW THE CLASSES WORK

CLASS 1Improved-road travel and easy scenic access.
CLASS 2Scenic four-wheel-drive touring with rougher surfaces.
CLASS 3Low range may be needed; vehicle damage is possible.
CLASS 4Substantial clearance, recovery gear, and experienced drivers.

Ratings reflect the hardest unavoidable obstacle documented for each route. Snow, runoff, mud, erosion, deadfall, and reroutes can change a trail dramatically.
