It was very difficult for a 70 year old woman and you have to be a contortionist at times and not have a problem with claustrophobia.At that time going up a steep sliding sands hill was the exit if you don't go back the way you came in.

    I have done Nate at least 100 times. As one of the many offroad routes in southern california the ONLY thing this road has to reccomend it is that it is practically the only game in town in this area/this side of palomar mountain mainly because there is no route available to get to the fantastic dirt roads on the OTHER side of the mountain....WHY? Because any pass is gated via the infinite wisdom of the paranoids that control the observatory (s) I only ever road motorcycles the only fun thing was to challenge my average speed which was at best right around 30mph average ....which requires riding pretty fast I dont think I came across maybe one other person doing that pace (also a motorcycle) the 4 wheelers crawl by comparison...which is GOOD lol!
