Good to know that's there is a 4runner group in CenTex. I am fairly new to this site. When I do finally get home for good, I'd love to meet up with some like minded, wheelers in Texas!

I used to be on Facebook but not anymore. I'm glad you started a thread in here so we can possibly communicate on here also for the group. I'm in San Antonio

My rig, it's changed abit since I've been on the page

I can't go as I'm leaving for a trip on Sunday, and work Saturday. I will go next time for sure!

Just one day. Gotta work on Sunday.
I'm thinking get there about 10am or so. It's not for sure but I think me and one other 5th gen will be there unless something happens to change the plan. I'll know for sure by tomorrow afternoon.
 
I go out there and play around quite a bit... but right now I'm in a much cooler place (literally) ;-)

How intense are these trails? I have never been there. I would love to go sometime, but I am not a hard-core off-roader. I just like to explore (mostly in the mountains of Colorado).

My 4Runner is our main hauler and my daily driver. So, I can't wheel it like my old 74' Scout II.

You're my hero.
Where is that first pic specifically?


To keep on topic, I would love to check out hidden falls, but will probably wait until it cools off a little in Texas.

Bound for the area of wfo9s photos in a couple weeks.

First pic is Imogene pass on the Ouray side. Second pic is Black bear pass.

Make sure you do both of them if you get the chance.

There are bypasses and ways to turnaround you could enjoy the place in a rock crawler or a Subaru.
 
Awesome pictures Britt, how is she handling the trails? I'm planning on going out there in September.

The trails are all very easy, but still very fun and totally worth it. I'll be coming back again. Really no challenges to speak of besides the wall on Poughkeepsie Gulch and even that was pretty much an idle up for me when it was dry. Many of the trucks with smaller tires did struggle on it, but even open open rigs can get up it with the right line and some momentum. I also did it in the pouring rain and hail and that was a little bit sketchy, but still made it. Going down it would be pretty crazy though. So I would plan to approach it from Mineral creek....
 
Fj summit. Nice!
The summit is going on, but we were here before and just caught the first two days of it on the tail end of our trip. Headed back to Texas today. The trails got super crowded when the masses showed up... but it was cool to see all the nice rigs. Think I would much rather be here when that is not going on.

Interesting you mention that... We also have a 14' Forester XT (the wife's whip).

I don't know that I will be able to join you guys this weekend, but I would love to another time. Gotta pack up the apartment to prep to move into the house in two weeks!!!

Ha, thanks. Didn't recognize the water crossing.

Vaguely familiar with those passes having grown up there.

Safe journey home!

Looks like a go for tomorrow. We are planning to be there about 10:30ish.

Black and a white 5th gen trail editions.

Will be on CB channel 8

Have you been in a while? I think things have gotten much more difficult in the past few months. Still ways to take it easy, just not like it used to be. Even the fence line became a mess with all the ruts and mud holes that got dug out with the rains. It has become pretty hard to pick mild routes.. although it still can be done.

I try to avoid going out there in Late July and August. It's just too hot and dusty, but I can still be talked into it LOL. Evenings and night wheeling can be tolerable, but you really have to know the trails to have any fun at night.

Crap I haven't been since we've had all the rain. Is it worth going in near stock rigs? Will we be just driving on the service roads?
