Any one heading to Slick Rock this weekend?

Loooking for someone To pull me out of trouble. Just got my xj. havent done anything to it yet. Waiting to Sell my 01 F150. Am really wanting to explore some easy to moderate trails. Took my stock AWD Exporer to Corral Hollow a couple of months ago. Definatly not the best rock crawler. LOL.

If you mean Slick Rock by Alpine lake, do not go there. The final rock pile is not for stock. Check it out http://slonopotam.no-ip.org/Matyushkin/IMG_1041.jpg

Also, there should be a lot of snow. Unless you got a limited slip in the back, you won't pass it.

that place looks fun.

In a review I read it said stock jeeps could make it. They rated it a 5 one way and a 6 the other. Are they full of it? As for snow, I wouldnt think that there wouuld be much if any. Enough to wet the ground at most. But if you are right I would be screwed.

Snow report:

I believe bear valley is 1 mile before that place. Actually, the trail starts at a closed part of the freeway 4.
The trail is rated difficult in the book I have, more difficult than Bald Mountain.
If you go uphill, you'll pass the stones on the picture, but become stranded on the slick rock. Other way - you won't make the stones on the picture.

Shit I should just go snowboarding then.

you shouldn't try slickrock in a stock cherokee by yourself. That last part is pretty tuff.

I guess I'll just stick to Carnegie Saterday. Closer and might as well see what that place is like. Probabley like playing disk golf in a mowed Park. Whatever that means.
