Natty's Route

Entered from the East side on Meaderboro Rd. The first 7-8 miles are 2 lane, maintained dirt roads with short stretches of pavement. Once you get to Clapp Rd (intersects with North Barnstead Rd) the technical rating becomes 3-4. I only went a short distance on Clapp Rd before turning around due to inexperience and not having a spotter. Heavy leaf coverage this time of year, several large rocks.

So glad I went with a friend today after he upgraded his suspension. We entered via the 126 end meaning we had to go up the rocky section almost immediately after a couple of mud pits. The climb required spotting as we had to pick the perfect line to navigate through. There's enough tall rocks that jut out to damage the suspension and undercarriage so we were really careful, using crawl control going up. I kept my air pressure to 35 psi as my gut told me I needed a balance of traction and ground clearance. I just barely made one rock obstacle, my friend told me. I'm running a stock TRDPro. Weather was dry and sunny. Rating should be higher. 4 or 5.

Easy dirt roads until you get to Clapp Road. Stock Tacoma TRD made it through fine with a spotter. Had to remove the stock plastic mud flaps to keep from dragging on a few drop offs. Recommend doing the trail starting at the east side near Rochester and do Clapp Road downhill.

I was glad I went in via Meaderboro Rd end, most of the trail is fairly tame but the mid section has a lot of rocks. 4Lo and slow. It was fun though it was a good ride to learn the capability of the Jeep. Definitely need a lift and big tires anything else you won't make it over the drop offs when going over the rocks
