Die Trying

For the hard core crowd, here are a couple of trails that might be of interest. Hopefully someone can research and post more info on these.

They are just outside Montrose and are considered pretty tough.

On day 2, we headed for Montrose, where we ran Die Trying and the first part of Calamity.

A nice new sign at the entrance to Die Trying:

Cody was having tranny problems (no first gear) so elected to turn around and head back down. Getting him turned around was no picnic.

It's not easy to squeeze through this spot, especially in a JK. Bob goes big to minimize body damage. It looked even better in person

This rock has claimed many windshield frames, XJ B-pillars, rear corners, etc. Bill ended up realligning and got through unscathed.
