Great trail. Took the loop counter-clockwise & it took us 5 hours to complete it. Easy to get off track so a trail app is a must to help stay on the trail.

I’d rate the official trail a 5. Toss in the bonus lines (doable by a normal Jeep/Yota/Bronco) and it’s a 6. Of course there are harder lines for buggy’s. It was a super fun day with a large Bronco group (and a Jeep, a Taco and an amazing buggy. ). The most crawling I’ve done in a day. The leader knew the trail and we did many bonus lines. 33” tires and you can do just about everything
