    For sure it was weird, going up took a lot longer and Josh got out to spot me several times. Mostly to get around some boulders so I wouldn't bash the doors or body... Coming down seemed much shorter, but did scrape a few rocks.

    I think it was 1.5 hours going up. Maybe a half hour at the top (had lunch, enjoyed the view). 1.0 hour driving down. Aired back up at the road, bottom of the trail. I did the run at 25 psi (normal pressure is 35). I think we started close to 11 am at the base of the trail and were on the rock at 12:30.

    Ready for the next run... :D

    I'm always 50/50 on going. I see some videos/pics and I'm like "I got this". I see others and I'm "Sheeettt, I'll pass"

    Nice videos.

    What are you driving and what is you skill level? I also suggest going with others and a spotter to ride along! It is good training run... less than 2 miles one way.

    I have many years of off road driving, but am in a stock truck other than one size up in tires... no lift, no sliders, no armor beyond what the truck came with.

    Driving the merc. Avg skill level.

    PROS--No open diffs and I have a winch.
