Trail Description: Cleghorn Ridge. Easy/moderate: Road 2N47 is fairly smooth most of the way except for a steeper, rougher section going over Cleghorn Mountain. The tougher alternate route varies to fun and moderate. There are bypasses around all the tough sections which make this trail easy.

Special Equipment Required: Swaybar disconnects, high ground clearance with limited slip or lockers, 31 inch tires are always a plus. But there is an easy bypass that can be navigated in two wheel drive with stock vehicles. Tire damage is always a possibility. A good spare is required.
