This run is open to everyone. Its a short but very fun trail.
When: Sunday July 25th
Where: Slick Rock Road (Starts at Lake Alpine on Hwy 4)
Departure Time: estimated 9:00 am
Trail Details: see http://4x4trailmaps.com/4x4Trails.php?Trail_ID=5
Minimum Requirements:
1. 31" tires
2. all other standard
required equipment (tow points, fire extinguisher, etc)
Good to have (but not required):
1. Rocker Protection
2. Locker ('s)
This is one of my favorite trails because even though it is short, it offers a variety of terrain: boulders, slabs, a few small ledges, twisty section through trees, a water crossing, and a fairly challenging obstacle at the end that is fun for drivers and spectators alike.
Its good to bring your lunch or snacks while we watch (and spot) people up the last obstacle. Most people also prefer to head home directly after this run (meaning they broke camp and are packing their gear) so that they don't have to return to Hermit Valley. I actually prefer to drive the trail back to Hwy 4 and with a small group it takes about the same amount of time as driving pavement (if you are headed that way) so it is optional, but I will plan on driving it backwards to get back to Hwy 4 for those who wish to tag along.
