hello y'all!
I'm getting my tacoma windows tinted tomorrow, the heat has been brutal these past days.
and after that hidden falls park this weekend. I haven't been there before, nor was I able to find much info about the exact trail course level. Do you know if there's at least a level that's safe for a stock sport to mess around and get 4WD lubed while not being totally boring?

 

I take the park road up to the tower. I don't know the park too well but I also don't beat my truck up.

 

thanks, I'll try that first and report back!

 

You should be able to do 1's and 2's without issue. 3 star rated trails and higher you may want to avoid. You can download a map on their website and t hey give you paper copy at check in.

 

Or see if @penbergm is heading out this weekend. He is there a bunch and doesn't mind running new folks around a little

 

Morning Austin!

It's OK, they told him there was a mall on the other side of that little water puddle.

I'm new to the area and have made a couple of trips. It's a fun park. If you stay on the 3-star trails around the perimeter, and take it easy or by-pass the more difficult small sections you'll be okay. You can make it to the radio tower on Park Road 3, which is 2-star. If you have predator steps, they'll likely get banged up. With 33s and rock sliders, anything 3-star is very drivable.

 

I’m actually gonna be in South Padre this coming weekend. Been out at HF 3 of past 4 weekends.

 

I will try to highlight a HF map for you with all the trails that are safe running solo.
