So anyone have thoughts on where to ride? Looks like the weekend of Jan. 10 & 11 is the most popular.

 

mountainside will be closed i think... so which is bigger? Grayrock or Morris Mountain? Or are they near each other?

 

i should be good for the 10th

 

Gray Rock is approximately 3.5 hours from Woodstock/Atlanta area. Just read on their site that they are closed January 1-31!

Morris Mountain is about 2 hours from Woodstock/Atlanta area.

Upon looking at the trails, many of them are rated 3, 4, 5. Knowing our group, I'm not sure we would be wanting to attempt some of these trails.

From thier web site.................................

Choccolocco Mountain Off Road Park is a 450 acre mountian range located in Jacksonville, Alabama. We have trails ranging from mild to extreme rock crawling courses. If you're looking for a challenge, you'll find it here! Most trails are spectator accessible, whether you come to ride the trails, spectate, or test your rig, we have something for you. On this mountain you can find some of the most beautiful scenery in the whole area. The peak of the mountain is at 1500 ft., with views overlooking both sides. On the West side you are looking at Jacksonville, home of Jacksonville State University, and surrounding towns. On the East side you are viewing the beautiful Dugger Mountain and other parts of the Choccolocco Mountain Range.

Lodging, dining, and parts stores are only minutes away. Jacksonville has many restaurants to choose from, whether you want to grab a quick burger, or sit down for the best steak in town, we've got it all.
