My TE offroad at Gulches - Now with Pics!

Pics added! So it's been about a month since I went to Gulches ORV park in SC, but i've been wanting to post about it ever since.

Let me first tell you that this place was great. I went a weekend after a huge event and I think there were maybe 3 other vehicles out there (apparently they had over 200 the weekend prior). The park is 80 acres I think, but there are tons of trails. It's pretty cool that you can do a trail in a stock TE, and right next to that is a trail for fully built rock crawlers!

Skip, the owner, was able to guide me throught the park (since it was slow). He drove around in a jeep, and would stop at the bottom of a climb to tell me about the lines to take and trees to avoid! I think they have volunteers who take people around the park when it's busy as well.

The park is supposedly pretty tricky after a good rain (very slippery), but i went on a dry day and was able to keep the TE shiney. We did at least 5 trails that required the locker. I even played with the crawl control a bit. Overall, it was a great place to ride (my first real off-roading in the TE). I highly reccomend anyone in the area check it out. They even have camping onsite.

I'll post more pictures later, but they really don't do it justice.

That looks awesome. I have NO mods on my SR5, and really do not care to have any. I would like to find some trails that are not hardcore, but challenging enough to quench my thirst for some offroading. The only offroading I have done has been in Hawaii with rental trail rated Jeeps, and it was the time of my life. Looks like the wifey and I may have to make a trip. Thanks for the info.
 
sorry no pics yet. I just need to download them.

tomorrow they are having a Toyota day, and it;s only $10 to get in.
 
Sounds like a great time. I see you're in South Florida. We live in Palm Beach Co. but the family has a house in NC. How is the drive to park? What part of SC? Can't wait to see the rest of the pics.

I'm in Palm Beach as well!

it's off of 385 where it intersects with 26, in laurens county:
laurens, sc - Google Maps

check their website for directions. it's about 25 minutes off the highway, out in the sticks. I was getting the look from my wife, becuase we thought we missed it, but just follow their instructions and it will be there. We drove up from Columbia, SC and it took about 1 hour 15 minutes.
 
Here are soem pics. I realize they are not the most awesome pictures, but it was cool either way.

you'll notice the dog that followed us the entire time, and the sign warning of the 20' deep mud hole!

the tall bald dude is the owner, Skip, guiding me throught the trails. This was the first 5th gen he'd seen at Gulches, and I think he was impressed with how capable it was.
