What are your thoughts on these trails? difficulty? paint removing? length? worth camping out? Any info would be great.

I haven't been....yet....but I heard that it isn't crazy but it's not easy. I'm trying to get out to Beasley or Blackacre, or possibly Morris Mtn for the day sometime mid Dec.

BTW How did the lift install go?

Scratches and dents are likely with a 4-Door. The trails are tight. Some of them are long and steep. If you're locked, you should be able to drive all over the place and have a blast. Just don't go alone or if it is raining.

YouTube has tons of videos.

Not too sure about Camping out there.

the basics of beasley:

yes camping available, straight gravel from the northern entrance to camp site, but southern entrance requires riding some trails to get to the camp site.

on a scale of 1-10 for difficulty, rain adds 16 points

very steep and long hill climbs but easy if dry... may bottom out on washouts controls

overall a good time, but I could not imagine running more than one day up there. Perhaps coming up late on afternoon, camping and then riding the next day. They have about 9 miles of trails which can easily be cmopleted (at a slow pace) with in a few hours with a small group

I've not been, but heard a similar message on this forum and another one"

Absolutely forget it if it has rained the day before. Stay home, watch football, rearrange the sock drawer etc unless you've got some serious mods. I think they will even close the trails if the owners deem it to wet.

It's actually managed/controlled by the US Forestry Service - here's a link to their site. Don't trust the Status here - the one time I did go up there, the status said OPEN but the trail was closed. They generally close it if it's wet, and I think they close it for much of the Winter. I'd love to give it a shot some time.

Default close

Not sure of the dates but I think they are closed from 12/1 = 3/1.

I have lockers and the trail was dry no big deal done in three hours. Alot of dust and the branches will give you some big scratches. More of a sunday drive for stock jeeps. Or if you have never been good place to learn.
