Unless they changed it from two weekends ago their easy stuff are on the green trails. The ratings are green, blue, and red. JK-Rubi has the summaries on the ratings pretty good. There are degrees within each though. For example, Rev Limiter is red, but I think can be done when dry. In fact, allot of their trails get downright impossible when wet.
I cannot say enough good about this park. There is so much to do and play on and the price is right.

And Tony is absolutely spot on with regard to dry-wet trails there. First time we went, dry and no problem. Second time, it had rained the day before and was "damp". I couldn't believe the difference - much more difficult. Luckily it was a pretty day, and everything dried out (for the most part) by that afternoon.

Good point. Unlike places like Beasley it doesn't take too long for it to dry out. The rocks stay damp for a bit so the obstacles may stay limited, but the trails aren't a slippery mess.

Thanks for the info on the trails! Is there anyone who is going that wants to camp? If so will you be staying Friday or Saturday night? Or is everyone just going for a day trip?

Not 100% certain, but I think Mountainside only has primitive camping and no facilities in the form of bathrooms/showers. They do have a couple of porta-potties. Not even close to being like Crawfords at Tellico. Just something to account for if you're considering camping.

Question..
Can I have fun there in a stock JK? I got the AT tires, but nothing else exept a sense of no fear. LOL!
I may join this ride, not too far for me to get there.
Anyone from my area going? Would love to get a few in a convoy and head up there.
