Obstacle Description
Mud Pit: The
mud pit is the first area that you come to as you make your way
into the park. The pit is designed to have a hard bottom with
slop laid on top to minimize traction. Water levels are kept low
in all of the pits. However the pit closest to check in named
the soup bowl is deep. All three lanes have a rock face ledge to
climb on your way out. The rock face is not steep but it will
offer some what of a challenge with wet and muddy tires.
The lane closest to the top side is the
most aggressive with deep mud and steep banks to climb up in
order to exit. The lower two lanes before the open pit area can
be accomplished with a mild 4X4 vehicle. The last area of the
mud pit offers a wide area to play in and a wide steep hill
climb to challenge your rig. The open pit has a hard bottom that
offers wheel spinning fun for everybody from 31’s to what ever
you can fit on your rig.
We also have two large truck tires with
D-Rings and straps attached to pull around in the pit for an
additional challenge. The smaller tire is approximately 600
pounds and the larger tire is close to 1000 pounds. Think you
could pull them? HOOK'EM UP!
Soup Bowl:
At the top of the mud pit is the most
aggressive pit. It is designed to have the deepest mud and the
highest level of difficulty. The hole is designed to self drain
as the water level rises so that it will produce thick deep mud
without a lot of water. It has a steep dirt climb on one end and
a slick rock climb on the other end.
Rock Garden:
The rock garden that is near check in at the mud pit area is
designed to allow stock 4x4 vehicles a place to play, but can
also be aggressive enough for more extreme vehicles depending on
the line you choose.
Hill Climbs:
The hill climbs are past the mud pit. The first hill climb you
come to is extremely mild, but as you make your way down the
trail trying the different hill climbs the degree of difficulty
increases. Some of these hill climbs have terraces while others
have steep off camber grades. One has a mixture of both. All
hill climbs exit at the top parking area near the mud pit.
Rock Crawls:
There are many climbs currently opened with more to come. These
climbs range from mild simple climbs to extremely challenging.
Be sure to watch others first or walk and look at the entire
climb before attempting them. Some of the climbs have a double
ledge that will allow a mild stock 4X4 to go to the first ledge
and be able to watch more capable rigs attempt harder obstacles
going up the second ledge. The first ledge on the right side of
the property has a road that runs the entire distance of the
ledge. It is called “Donkey’s Ledge”. That road will lead
rigs to the other climbs and back down to the mud pit area.
Rev Limiter: This
is an aggressive slab of rock that is nearly 30’ tall and lays
back at approximately 65 degrees. It is about forty-five feet
wide and offers several travel lanes. At the top of the wall is
a big open area to get stopped in and offers several other
climbs from there.
Flash Over:
Follow the main road toward the top of the mountain and you will
come to Flash Over. It offers several lines and ledges to choose
from. This climbs is cut into the mountain side to bed rock, but
it is constantly changing.
Full Throttle:
On the right hand side of Flash Over is the Full Throttle climb.
This climb has twin ledges with a right and left turn about mid
point. Loose rock and dirt makes this climb really fun.
Goose Bumps:
This climb is to the left of Rev Limiter. It has several small
grooves or in set ledges for your tire to grab. Don’t be
fooled by the description, it is easier to the left between the
two pines and almost impossible to the right.
Mild Climbs:
We have designed our park with everybody in mind. We know that
not every body has an extreme rock buggy, but everyone with a
four wheel drive wants to ride. We have laid our park out so
that a stock 4x4 can play in view of a serious rock buggy. The
rocks on the right and left side of the main road have easy
climbs and easy trails that loop back the other climbs. Some
easy climbs run side by side with harder climbs to keep groups
from splitting up just to ride.
Trails to Ride:
Lazy Days, Rock Garden Loop, Twin Branches, Eagles Nest Loop,
Camp Ground Loop and the main road to the top of the mountain
can all be driven with a stock 4x4.
Future Expansion: Canyon run, Obstacle Course, Balance
bridge, Tug of War slick pad, Concession Stand with Bath houses.
