    I wouldn’t say so. There’s very minimal you can do without armor and 33”s IMO.. I had skids and sliders when I was there on 265’s and needed them both and barely scratched the surface of those trails.

    ....there is a video on the website that shows stock vehicles touring the easy trails. Don’t know I’ve never been, and live 30 min from there. I need to make it over there sometime.

    Thats probably just the two way trails and low level blues..... probably 5-7 trails like that and they are all fairly short. Everything in Gulches is fairly short.

    The parking lot at Gulches is the only easy trail. :D

    The previous owner Skip used to gauge your truck and give you some trail recommendations. I don't know if the new owners do that or not.

    Pick a trail number you may want to try and YT search for it. This a YT search result for gulches trail 5, an easier trail.

    I wish these were better quality. Some of is should get together and make some good quality video breakdowns of the trails.



    Now here is #13, also an easy trail. You get the idea? Neither are difficult, just adjust your approach accordingly.

    Last time I was there I did
    9, Radical Ravine, 21, 21A, 18, 22, Heartbreaker, 30 and a couple of others I forgot. Some of those if you chose a good line and had at least skids and sliders you could conquer with a mild lift and good tires on a drier day.

    How old is the video? They have changed hands recently and they have made a lot of changes I hear

    I don't have any armor, mild lift and 33's but I've also been with 265/75R16.

    Plenty of fun to be had with a stock truck. Some of the trails are just dirt, no rocks, but they sweep and swoop and dip and roll enough to be more difficult and provide some entertainment.

    I haven't been since they changed hands. I will say, based on their FB page, that they've put a ton of work into the park and take pride in their trails.

    You could always go with a few guys from TW and if you get in a bind, just park it and ride along.

    Idk if that was the same trip I was there, but I think I followed on everything but shipwreck (I took bypass and still took damage) and heartbreaker (because I don't want my heart broken).
