Our first run up this popular trail was quite a hot one. As we climbed in elevation it did cool off a bit, but bring plenty of water and sunscreen for the summer months. For an advanced offroader, this is an easy trail – we had Ed's stock Jeep with 31's make it through with no problems at all. The optional "v-notch" proves to be a challenge, however, as you can see from the photos below. Aside from a few small rock gardens, it's mostly a dirt trail. Depending on which branch you follow, can climb to almost 5,000 feet where you'll get spectacular views of the area.

				Ed makes it through the first obstacle. --------------- Brian tests his Jeep on the v-notch.
				Rick gives it a try, and shows off some flex! -------------- Kyle spots Rick.
			Stuck on a spring and then an axle, he opts to winch to Brian's Jeep to prevent any damage.
				Chuck and Rich head up the rocky climb. --------------- Ryan follows us up the hill.
				Follow the winding trail to some great desert overlooks.
