John has been adding rock trails like crazy since the last event in July. There have been 7 dump trucks hauling rock and some dirt to the park for 8 hours a day for 2 weeks. He has used a lot of this rock but there are still piles and piles of rocks to be used. Most of the new rock trails are finished, but a couple are ongoing. Here's a few pics of some new stuff:

Admission is $30 per adult, $15 for children ages 7-11, and children 6 and under are free. This covers you for the entire weekend for everything-all kinds of riding (rocks, mud, etc) on whatever kind of vehicle you bring, and camping, and 2 concerts-it's all included in the one price.

Rockfest can't get here fast enough. It's amazing the time and money John has spent making this park what it is and will become. Never did I imagine, 2 1/2 years ago, the park would transform so much.

Who's down for doing some donuts?


I give to you the Yellow Donut!:

Re: Rockfest at the GAP-August 24-26

The Yellow Donut is about 125 feet in diameter and will have a tower sprinkler in the tire to keep the dirt damp.
