Nope but I'll run it with you

 

I'd be interested. Looks like a super fun trail.

 

Ran it years ago several times with my short-wheel-base crawler. Short, but real tough.
Compares to the Rubicon. Might not even open this year, with so much snow-pack.
There is a gate at the trail-head that prevents vehicles from passing that are too wide.
I forgot the exact width, but it prevents full-size rigs from passing.
Not sure if it will allow Toyotas on one-tons.

 

F it, crawl over the gate like a boss

 

Sweet let's do it! I'll figure out when it opens and set up a run. Guessing it will be late August

 

I'm sure there's a few other experienced wheelers on here that would be interested as well.

 

i talked about it a few mths back. that and strawberry pass. you should keep it on the down low. and be strict with a small group of well prepared.
but i am tring to figure out some dates as well for aug and sept. hit me up when you nail down a date.

 

Yea I'd like to stay under 6 or 5 if we run it

 

better stop posting about it then

 

i agree with this. took them a few years for a 4x4 club to get it opened last year and i am sure all that work just went out the window. Desolation is in a damage warning, this sits on the edge. i was going to hit it last year then pack to lake 3 and 5, but didnt expect this last winter to ahut it down as it opened. bummer

 

strawberry pass? would rather get a group to hit strawberry and coyote lakes in september, but too many are scared.

 

That looks like a cool trail

This says its closed. Was that part of the litigation that deer valley was under?

 

Let's go...

 

thats one

 

In lets plan aug

 

it opened july last year, i figured august was pushing it. but if its open that works.

 

Pending on the date.

 

should be there only like 111 inches of snow as of may first at wrights lake. at least for barrette. that should be melted by aug. but if not then sept. strawberry we will just have to cross are fingers they open it this yr.
