Our trails above fresno are great.
Swamp
Coyote
Red
Mirror
etc...

But unfortunately they wont start opening until around May. Regardless of the lack of snow the Forest service wont open the gates until scheduled. Don't want anyone make a trip and be disappointed.

Im planning on putting some runs together this year and will post them in norcal.

Throw something out there lets see if we can get some of these guys to get off the couch and wheel with us that weekend lol.

If you want to try out slick rock and since you've been out there before, I'm willing to check it out. Maybe there's time to check out Corral Hollow which is just southwest of that and it's only considered a "moderate" trail.

My rig is a DD also. I just try and avoid mashing the skinny pedal

We rolled it last summer. Tricky in some places, not in others. The stairs at the end weren't too bad. If your willing to do the stairs, it's a 2.5 hr through trail. Otherwise it's a 4hr out and back

that's "the bypass" by my understanding. The hard line is further to the left if your looking up the hill. (Right in the video).

Hey Ed, I may join you guys on a Slickrock run depending on the day. It is a easy trail for our rigs.
