    Rowher 4x4 and Lookout are the only ones I believe.

    I'd do them alone though. Without a locker, so you're definitely good.

    i broke my front axle there the other night. just a hill climb not even the trail. that shit def needs lockers and big tires to get up. but if u stay on the main trails its easy and stock 4x4 can make it

    Rowher trails are all marked too, but even the 'most diifficult' marked one's are doable. In fact I went out to Rowher alone right after I got my truck and ended up on the Rowher trail, was my first time using 4 wheel drive and I survived, though it got a little intense at times lol.

    haha yeah you'll be good with the group, the Rowher 4x4 trail I would not attempt in an open diff 2wd though, but all around the staging areas there are fun spots and trails to romp around on that would be plenty doable for 2wd.

    its pretty fun there. we try not to go to often so we dont burn it out. I do always seem to break there though. the first was the bottom of my strut broke off just going threw the main trail, and i believe it broke because it was tiny stem and 6 inch lift was too much for it and it finally gave out. the second time i broke was just screwing around on a hill climb. very simple till the top. at the top there is a steep rock face and a hole right befor it and it flexes out real good there. and if u slide to the side u wreck your door or bed. so i caught a little wheel hop and bam. 35's locked out is stressful on the axles. wheel hop is a killer at that point.

    i know i can do it even with my stock axles but i need to be careful.and maybe going during the day would help. I just dont have enough lights yet
