That's cool! That is my favorite trail for good reason. Wish it wasn't a 3 hr drive for me though. Lets hook up sometime for I'm up for it most anytime.

IMO, this is just an all around great trail. It offers challenges for the mild to wild built vehicles. With the rain, it added another element of challenge on certain obstacles (rocks wet, mud sticking to tires causing tires to slip off your intended line, etc) which made for more fun.

SWEET!! And a weekday run (even though holiday technically) Were you the only ones on the trail? That trail really is a blast

The Chutes or what you are calling the Squeeze I think can be tippy if you can't hold that upper tire. Looks like there is still a rock stack in the bottom of it which will sure help from going over on your side. I hate it when people don't remove their stack! Last time we ran it it was a walk in the park. Did it in 3 hrs and we got stuck behind some stock XJ with stock tires for some time. We didn't understand the lines he was taking and was having to get yanked constantly.

Yeah, those rocks were in there when we got there which made that obstacle real easy. There was a large group somewhere behind us with several stock rigs so rather than removing all those rocks, we left them there because they would have been put back behind us most likely.

You'll have a blast if you go. It's a great trail. Not that it's too difficult or anything, this one offers challenges at quite a few points & keeps the the interest going.

Enjoy your run, I doubt you'll be disappointed :thunb:
