The hard way? You mean the official trail, which hooks to the right side of the large tree where the trail leana off camber, downhill to the passenger side. That section? [emoji16]

You will be fine. I followed my buddy in a stock 2wd Tacoma up there a few years ago. If you stay on Soda Springs Rd the entire time you will not even need 4WD but will get dusty. There are some nice forest roads that shoot off Soda Springs Rd that barely require 4WD that lead to some great overlooks. The side roads do get kind of narrow and brushy so proceed with caution on those. By the way, I spoke with the ranger and Soda Springs Rd is not closed to through traffic traveling from point A to point B, but the forest service roads are closed. Definitely worth waiting for the forest to reopen unless I'm really desperate for some windshield scenery time.

Sorry - I did not mean to be preachy. Just wanted to point out that forest orders about closures are important to know about and follow.

Good idea to call the local ranger station for specific info. Great way to get current info and details relative to what your looking to do.

I think I’m free that day and would be up for this if it’s all clear. Fingers crossed there are no more fires/issues and they are able to open the forests.

Good news for all but 5 of our national forests.... opening 2 days early at midnight tonight.

Awesome, looks like Tahoe National Forests (Signal Peak) will be open tomorrow, El Dorado NF (50/MET) closed until end of the month.
Oct 2nd still works for Signal Peak, could use your help with the granite hard part.

I’m in but not sure which 4Runner I’m taking yet so not sure if I’ll meet in Rocklin or at Nyack.
Also, my neighbor with his 5th Gen T4R will be joining us.

Sounds good, I think we're up to 6. Just got shipping notification for all my skids, Victory4x4 likes to send them out individually.

Did Soda Springs Rd from Robinson Flat on Monday. 25 miles in 4.5 hours. The Runner performed flawlessly, and the scenery was just spectacular! This was a bucket list item for me, and I was NOT disappointed!

Some awesome pictures. Is the route mostly dirt roads? Or is there some more difficult trail conditions?

Thanks! Easy run, the road is 90% as you see in the photos. A couple spots with some ruts, but that's about it. I stayed locked in just to give my t-case a workout.

There's a couple tiny creek crossings, a couple dry creek bed crossings as well, but super easy. I would add to be careful when going through the area known as "The Cedars." It's about 2/3 of the way through the run. Folks there claim holdings of about 8000 acres, and I'm told they are less than friendly, and can be hostile at times. I didn't see anyone when I went through that area, but just the same, I crept through that section (I hear they do not like people speeding through there) and did not stop until after I crossed the north fork bridge. You'll know when you're getting close...you'll see "No Trespassing" signs on the trees every 50 yards or so, along with a derelict tennis court in the middle of nowhere.
