    Fish creek wash is fun, so is the diablo drop off. Go check out the wind caves too.

    Sandstone canyon, it gets pretty tight. I really like canyon sin nombre, you can take that to fish creek wash. There are also some small slot canyons you can hike around down there. Tons of fun in and out of the truck.

    “The Squeeze” is on Pinyon Mountain Road and is not friendly to 2nd or 3rd gen Tacoma’s. Getting through without damage is very unlikely.

    Yeah 4x4 with the rear e-locker. I’m heading to the slots right now and to my understanding it’s a continuation of it. I was on trailsoffroad.com and it said not to go without a group so I was like shit, no group other than the gf lol

    Just no pictures of the skin getting melted off your face. That would be gross! Not a good time of the year to be out there hiking but in the truck with the ac blowing you’ll be good. Beautiful place to go and for all the years I’ve been there, there’s always more to see. Have fun and be safe.
