Small children can manage with a lot of adult assistance. There are some steep drop-offs to climb down. The trail down into the Crack is not quite as easy as the trail to get there. Once you get to the crack, it’s a one-of-kind experience. The trail to the Crack in the Ground is fairly short and very easy. Just a basic shack similar to a porto-potty, but better than nothing. I was pleasantly surprised to find a bathroom there. The other, we were able to use, but it involved driving over bushes and bottoming out in spots-definitely not viable for a smaller car at all.ĪNYWAY, once you get to the parking lot for the trailhead. One of them was flooded, so we had to turn around and backtrack. Unfortunately, these “shortcuts” went down even rougher roads. We used Waze, which tried to be clever and use a couple “shortcuts” to reduce our mileage down the dirt roads. But if you have any doubts about YOUR vehicle, I suggest either skipping this stop or seeing if you can get here in someone else’s vehicle somehow.Īlso beware of GPS apps. Luckily, we drive an SUV that’s in good shape and could handle the rough road. The road was so rough, I stopped about halfway and got out just to make sure my tires were still intact. You have to go 8+ miles down VERY rough dirt roads to get here. NOTE: This is not the easiest place to get to.
