    Not too far, I pussied out after we got to this hill, it's a lot steeper than it looks haha that picture is when I was turning around and my rocker panels were resting over a fallen tree. I was having PTSD from my incident at Jim Creek lol They went farther than I did

    Kyle and I went up a wrong trail and then had to back track a ways back to the correct trail.

    We made it to the very last big hill climb but there was tons of people, trucks atv's and dirt bikes plus it was hot and dusty so we called it good there.

    Had we continued I'm sure we could have made it up the last hill climb. Everything was pretty dry.

    It's probably a good thing you turned around haha

    The climbs got way steeper, narrower, and softer

    Yeah probably hahaha, the trail was fine by me until that last little part where we had to get out every 10ft to make sure we weren't gonna hit anything. A few times I came within like 4 inches or so of hitting trees. It's ironic though how i suggested the trail and then called it quits early haha

    Yeah it was pretty good. Some pretty technical spots, lots of hill climbs, and if we ever got any rain there would be a bunch of mud I bet too.

    The last hill was like 200+ yards up of solid 8-10" boulders so it was just gonna be kinda shitty going up. I think we would've bee fine getting up, but I guess it'll have to wait for next time haha

    Yeahhhh... it got to the point where we had our mirrors pulled in and going up a hill I definitely had to pivot myself around a rock with my slider.

    Probably would've been really good to air down especially for stuff like that with just tons of rocks, i mean a lot of the trail was scattered with medium to larger sized ones but still

    But overall I think it was a good day, at least now I know where to go now and could probably go a lot farther in next time.

    Yeah I think we could make it up that last climb just fine and then it flattens out quite a bit from there

    Was it easier going up or back down (for the whole trail)? From where I turned around I thought it was easier going down
