I'll defer to the person putting the run together, but I believe the trail itself is stock friendly…as long as you stay out of the washes. It is a nice run: http://wayalife.com/showthread.php?2543-Potato-ridge-rocky-gap-Las-Vegas

Too bad I'm not it vegas. That's a nice run look out for pink jeep tours though. Helped recover one with another jeeper last time.

 

[jdenney741]

Yea they are always present for the first 1-2 miles then die off.

I've always run it from the other end. Here is another run I did: http://wayalife.com/showthread.php?12579-Potato-Ridge-Las-Vegas

If you are ever looking for people to head out with I suggest reaching out the war machines 702 club. There are always people willing to head out.

Edit: OP sorry for the sort-of hijack.

I've run it both ways and I think it's harder from the State park side to the other end.

 

[jdenney741]

Yes it can be run both ways, I find it easier to access and more fun to go through the state park. First because it's straight in to start wheeling, then you run in back out the same way. No highway.

Bypasses are great for stock jeeps, I still run them from time to time, and with the rain lately a lot of the washes are pretty gnarly.

I am on the warmachines702 page and always invite them out for the runs I go on. This weekend is looking to be around 5-7 jeeps in the group. Maybe this time I will snap some pictures, I usually don't take to many.

 

[jdenney741]

Meet at 9am at the entrance to Red Rock, then we will be heading out around 9:15-20. Gives us plenty of time on the trail, and to enjoy the great morning weather.

If you have not run this trail recently be aware that summer rains have completely rearranged the trail. Also the access road is severely washed out in many sections. This is not stock friendly and you need min 33"s and recommend 35"s.

I did this with my step dad last weekend in his Stock 2014. He has 255s.

I also don't have 35s only three hundred dollar 255/70s

I do recommend rock rails though
