One of my favorite all-time places to wheel. It's been a few years since I was there, but would say a couple spots are easily 7+ "elevation change". No huge rock/boulder piles like Tellico (say Lower 2), just similar trails. When it rains, it goes from challenging to "death wish", so be careful!

One of my not favorite places! EXTREMELY STEEP, red GA clay, trails. Not much in the way of rocks or crawling. As Dave said, when wet it can be "death wheeling" as much throttle is needed and mistakes are costly!
That said, I'll be there this weekend
