Given the time constraints, we are requiring later model Rovers with independent Suspension to have more advanced requirements than solid-axle Rovers.
While we wholly encourage first-timers to join us, that doesn’t mean your first-time rock crawling. You will want to have some trail experience under your belt before tackling this trail. If you’ve only done fire roads and easy trails before now, it would be best to attempt some shorter trails like Slick Rock, Hell Hole or Deer Valley to get your feet wet before jumping into a 3-day trip like this.
We will check your vehicle over and validate it’s ready for the trail and watch you through the gatekeeper. Vehicles or Drivers that are struggling through that section may be advised that this isn’t the year for them.
We will work with anyone and everyone to get you through; please make sure to indicate your experience level when registering.
While it’s entirely possible to run the trail with no damage, it’s also not uncommon to see some breakage (axles, CVs, etc) and body damage is possible.
We make every attempt to avoid these things of course but ‘enter at your own risk’ as they say. We have a relaxed pace planned and should allow for plenty of time to get through obstacles without rushing.
