Default couple of pictures

I will say that this pictures are kind of weak...I didnt have anyone else with a camera with me so I was doing all the shooting...so I couldnt do it when driving and didnt feel like asking others to snap shots of me but here you go.

This is the trail you take going into the place...notice how loose the dirt is...


This is at the bottom of that hill in a small valley


This leads back up toward the exit of the trail...you can either run this or the loose sandy trail...I didnt attempt this one cause if you can see about mid way up there is a real large stair step that I just didnt think I could make. I will try and soon though


And this trail right here leads further into the mnts and keeps on going with hill climbs just like it...this was the last picture I snapped...this was taken the same day my vacuum hose from the xfer case to the acculator took a snap so I was stuck down here for a little while until I was able to use some vice grips to keep my 4x4 engaged and I crawled out lol.


I will say that these pictures just dont do this place justice...these are some real steep hills...very hard to walk up.

enjoy~
maybe next time I will get some pics of the jimmy doing some climbing and not just poser shots.

You can do it!

You can climb that stair step no problemo.

Good pics. Need some action shots though.
Some tips to get a better idea how big or steep the hills are.

Use your truck or surrounding objects to demonstrate the size.
Something like these. (they are too large to upload so you will ahve to click the links).

Also get further back so you can see the hill in relation to other terrain features.

that is so true... Pictures never do a trail justice. I swear the camera takes 15 degrees off of an incline!
