About This Trail

Imported description

This trail can be run during a Jeep adventure, but it's not open to everyone. It's a perfect challenge for stock Jeeps. The trail goes back for the return. The obstacles are long and varied. According to this quote, novices can lock differentials and use a spotter, and experts are able to increase challenge by running with open differentials. The trail is considered giving since the risks are not as high as with a wrong line. The last obstacle is SOB Hill. You must go up SOB Hill before coming down the back side. It is suggested that you walk it before driving it. If you don't know if you can climb back out, do not do the obstacle. The toughest part of the trail is the climb back out.
