Washingtons most challenging trail?

You guy up in Canada should go build some routes up north fork outside of Grand forks if you have the gas there are miles and miles of roads and rocks all over the place there are some fun stuff to play on south of Edgewood :awesomework:

I have ran a few trails at rimrock including "pucker ridge". The difficulty wasn't as much as the what if factor. The trails have spots where there is "no" room for error. Views are incredible, getting lost would be gaurunteed without someone familiar with the area to follow, and I would say it is the best place I've wheeled in washington now that reiter is gone. If it was wet, I would definitely say most difficult in the state.
 
When you post pictures of stockish jeeps on 33's running a trail, that is a fairly strong indicator its not that challenging.

So is your idea of a challenge a four foot rut that you have have 44"tires to get through.

Rimrock has many challenges no matter what you drive :flipoff:

One of those rigs has 33's the rest are all 35's or better. I know a few of the bent & broke guys and they are all good guys but their equipment is stuck in the early 80's for the most part. I think Dale (purple cj) has the largest axles with a rear 60 and front 44, most of them still run old school setups with a V8 so they have to pull cable a lot or risk blowing small equipment all over the trail... :haha:
 
Yep Rimrock is boring . All the good wheeling is on the Wet side of the mountains. You all shouldn't waste the gas.:D In all seriousness though running any of the trails in Rimrock can be difficult if not life treating if done incorrectly.And the difficulty level is weather dependent.
 
Rim Rock has heights, the heights can induce a phobia, a phobia is not a challenge.:kissmyass:

I am coming over in august though.:D

When wet it is way easy to slip off line and away you go. We rolled a rig last time up and it was in an easyer spot on the trail, but at the bottom of the hill he rolled down was the tub of another CJ that rolled all the way off the water fall. The lake up there is cool as hell also. If you like climbs then you will like it. And remember alot of trails can be easy if you always take the puss line through. Try picking a harder line and it becomes more fun. One thing about a buggy is it makes it too easy.
 
How do you know?




I followed Dirk in his cj, Porter in the (then) green machine, another yota that I can't recall the owner of and Robin in the sausage through pucker one time. Yes I will say for a fact that the buggies made it look easy.

No it isn't the hardest trail system in the world but a rig built specifically to be the ultimate in offroad prowess does it's job just like it is supposed to and you know it.
 
It would probably easier with a rig with tracks, but I don't want one of those either.:fawkdancesmiley:
