I have been to this trail a couple times before, but i usually just stick to one route up the mountain. This time i went out with my buddy, he took his king quad and was able to rip ahead and check out the trails to see which was the best way to go. It turned out to be a great day and we stayed there for around 4 hours. I ended up putting the winch to good use when i got stuck in some soft mud and then gave the skids a good trail bashing to give them a nice test. Everything worked out great and no damage...minus a few scratches...were incurred. Here are a couple good pics we were able to snap while on the trails...

They worked out great, took a good tree bashing to the bumper, not even a mark. Then a nice rock slam to the skids. In the pic where im perched up on the rock and the bank, on my first attempt i slipped off the bank and the skid landed on the rock, not even a mark on the skid

Yea it's a great trail with so many off shoots that you can literally spend a whole day in there and never get bored.
