[MENTION=13518]OU4x4[/MENTION] nice photos man, looks like you guys ran some fun trails!
[MENTION=63986]Volcom[/MENTION] good photos as well. Thanks for all you do for the event, and for finding Tracy's wallet hahaha.

My photos should be inbound to the thread in the next 24 hours.
 
Killer photos Aaron!
I want to run Holy Cross so bad.

Lindsey and I are hopefully going to head up Half Moon here soon. It looks awesome! We wanted to go Sunday after leaving the Jambo but after breakfast it was a bit too late in the day.

Hope to see ya before next years event dude!
 
Another great event! I had a great time hanging out with everyone, seeing old friends and making new ones! Can't wait for next year!

Here's a few pictures my father-in-law snapped before I broke the 4Runner on Holy Cross.

This was pretty much the top of the trail. You can also stay low and go to Baldwin Lake instead of turning uphill to get to this old mine where the trail ends.

Day 2 in the next post.
 
Day 2 - Wheeler Lake

This was my first run on Wheeler Lake. It's a fun trail, definitely some challenging sections. I was wishing I had full skid plates, just because there are a lot of chunky sections that make me nervous with stock skids. I almost flopped the truck due to a spotting error, but luckily did not. The only damage was a cut sidewall on one of my brother's Duratracs. He bought STT Pros the day we got back haha.

Day 3 - Grizzly Lake.

This trail is weird. The gatekeeper ledge is massive, no one in our group cleared it. The only line for our vehicles (3rd gens, an FJ and a 2nd gen taco) high-centered everyone. There really isn't another line to take unless you're in something else (a JKU on 40s behind us took a different line and got up the ledge after a couple tries). Everyone in our group winched over it, and scraped the shit out of the underside of the trucks. That took like 2.5 hours. The trail is short after that lede, with some sketchy shelf roads with big chunky rocks (similar to Iron Chest or bowling ball hill on Wheeler Lake). The lake at the top is beautiful though. I wouldn't bother winching everyone over again, but I'm glad we ran it once.

Heading out from the campsite.

When you're so high-centered you have to call for re-enforcements. He winched up off a Jeep that was ahead of us after this didn't work haha.

Kyle winched up, then turned around on a little loop about a hundred yards up the trail so he could pull everyone else up the ledge. This was just before he turned around.
<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/92196326@N04/29119599835/in/photostream/" title="DSC_3504-1"><img src="https://c4.staticflickr.com/8/7771/29119599835_315534eff1_b.jpg" width="1024" height="684" alt="DSC_3504-1"></a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

FJ was definitely the closest to clearing the ledge, but he had to winch too.

Alex was REALLY high-centered on his t-case/crossmember. Nate used the high-lift to get him off a bit so we could stack rocks better and get him over the ledge.

Did this not happen this year? I never say anything?

Yeah, it was our 11th annual Colorado Toyota Jamboree this year. Was held 3 weeks ago in Montrose, CO. If you're on Facebook, check out our page Colorado Toyota Jamboree. We post all the event info and pictures there.
