Narrow Pass Trail

Narrow Pass Trail delivers an exciting moderate challenge that rewards adventurous 4WD drivers with stunning rural scenery and technical driving demands. Located near Diehard, NSW, you'll navigate a compact 4.1 km route that packs genuine thrills into just 20 minutes of driving, making it perfect for those seeking quality over distance. The trail's 8% steep grade keeps you engaged throughout, testing your vehicle control as you wind through the picturesque landscape characteristic of inland New South Wales.

The terrain here is where Narrow Pass earns its reputation. You'll encounter a mix of rutted sections and rocky outcrops that demand careful line selection and steady throttle control. The narrow passages that give this trail its name require precision steering, especially if you meet another vehicle—ground clearance and good suspension setup become genuinely useful rather than merely advantageous. The surrounding bushland provides excellent views between concentration moments, creating an immersive off-road experience.

Before heading out, ensure your vehicle is in top condition with properly maintained brakes and steering—the technical sections show no mercy to poorly maintained rigs. Bring extra water and a basic recovery kit, as the remote location means help isn't immediately nearby. Only three vehicles have completed this trail through our Newtracs community, making it a relatively unexplored gem worth adding to your off-road bucket list.
