Feel like an idiot that I missed this until now. I was up there today and ran four fingers/ultimate adventure and some other lower level stuff since it was newbie run. I only live an ~hour away so most weekends It'll be an easy drive down day-of for me.

@ rock composition: My 2.5" spacer lift on a JKUR and full underbelly armor on 35's scrapes along with smart driving on 4-rated trails but their 5's require buggies to winch at times so you get a pretty nasty spectrum to choose from. I hate mud and rarely encounter it there but wet rocks are the norm so some significant tire slippage. Mostly tight,wooded trails but some rock gardens that make the big boys pleased to show off. Lots of options for everyone. There is a reason the park hosted several Ultra 4 races the past few years.

I was busy driving but might be able to get some pics from my co-driver/other folks we had along.

Hey, we had a great time as well. Other than that xj that broke it's shaft on that 4 diamond section, everything went smoothly. I couldn't believe that bone stock blackbear 2dr. Made it thru those rock garden's with barely any help.

Last summer I went to Hot Springs. Rubicon Ridge is one of my favorite trails there. It's not very challenging but the scenery is great.

I love that park myself and it will be the first park I go back to once I get my front axle fixed. It's a beautiful place and I live about 3 hours from there. Maybe we can all get together sometime up there. I went with bambam there last year. We had a good time

Nice pics! place looks like a lot of dirt? is it pretty comparable to barnwell?

sorry about your camera, hopefully that doesnt set you back to far. We always worry about that with the camera on the trials

na wont set me back much just be a month or two before I got it budgeted to go for the fix ... after all I go off every time I'm off work so most of my budget goes that direction and I refuse to not go just to get it fixed sooner .. after all if I am sittin home on days off work I'm not happy .. ............. not having been to barnwell I cant say one way or the other odd that being only a hour away from me I haven't been to it .. go figure ..... I stuck to mostly 3 diamond trails did do a 4 called can opener and part of a 5 called slammer and had to work my way through it not having lockers and wound up winching out onto a bypass portion before It got more than my rig was set up for ........... started grabbing a few stills from the video's so without further ado .. here ya are a few from can opener and the last is a lead in view of slammer that I did.. the big flattop rock on the left side in the distance you see is where I wound up winching out VIRB0191-2_Moment(2).jpgVIRB0191-2_Moment(3).jpgVIRB0191-2_Moment(4).jpgVIRB0191-2_Moment(5).jpgVIRB0191-2_Moment(6).jpgVIRB0191-2_Moment.jpgVIRB0191-3_Moment(2).jpg
