I think blk07 is trying to get some people together for a Cliffs run.
I'm near 59 and 95th street.

When? I'd like to give the Cliffs a try. I've been to Badlands several times.

I hear it's a bit better than when I went 5 years ago and smashed my upper door and took my mirror off trying to wuss out when the trail ended and just went into ATV ruts. Like I said I hear it's better but as was said go with someone who thinks like you do. I may try to plan a "wimp" tour to the Badlands with a few rookies who are more afraid of scratches than I am.

I seen on facebook they have a little dozer now to groom the trails as well as open new ones. I haven't been there but thought about checking it out. I like the badlands personally but the cliffs sound cool.

I would be into this, I can't afford to break my daily driver. I probably got one other JKU that would come with too

I went to cliffs a couple times in January. It was a one hour trip to get there, which is really nice when you compare it to badlands (haven't been there yet).

Cliffs is nerveracking because of how tight it gets, I have a JKU and it gets to a point where I have to fold the mirrors in and hope for the best. Despite that, there's a lot of room to roam, and there's a newbie trail that goes around the whole park.
