The first obstacle is a very decent climb
with 37" tires and coils it looks easy. Not sure a stock rig could get through this (there is a bypass)

Crippledpetey was smelling radiator fluid coming from the heter vents so we stopped to check

We made a few turns (some wrong)and ended up at eagle lakes.

We ran into a bit of traffic. Group was from Santa Cruz. They all seemed nice but really didn't want our help as was pointed out by a few members. Most were very nice including the propane powered 454 Ultra 4 on 43" tires.

This is a traverse section of the run. One of those that has nothing but 100 ft down on one side and is a bit off camber


This video is for 2013Rubirick. This is where his axle twisted last time

The trail is rocks and more rocks and more rocks with a few water crossings mixed in.

Winch hill 1 - So the line on this is to stay far left, get your front wheels up on top and continue to turn into the rock face bringing the front tire up into the...Pucker factor of 11. This rock face is 5-6 ft tall. I missed Crippledpetey but he of course walked right up. 40's matter

Winch Hill 2 - While not a vertical the hole at the bottom of the rock ate Crippledpetey's 40" tire like a Dunkin' donut

What fun is a trail ride without a bit of excitement
2013Rubirick pinched a tire (it had an existing nick) and we heard the dreaded hiss.
