It gets really sandy here. One half of the path is solid, the other half is very soft. That's why you have to pay close attention to oncoming traffic. When driving downhill you have to be careful not to end up in the soft sand.

Short, tough climb that is technically good. Definitely don't take this as a descent through the loose sand. Also, it's not that fun from the other side either. Definitely do it if you are nearby!
