    Top of the world is pretty nice. Thats the trail I think I initially destroyed my shock on lol (it officially broke in bull canyon and tusher tunnel). But only because I was alone (yes I know) at 6pm with nobody else on the trail and not having done it before I didnt know what to expect and didnt want to get stuck on a ledge climbing back out. So I hit one a little hard. Stock vx should have no problem. With the short wheel base they have an advantage on that type of stuff over my rodeo. There are a few places that are kind of dug out but there were rocks stacked on the tougher parts when I did it.

    These are probably the worst spots..




    This one worried me the most. With my long wheel base and locker I was afraid of slipping and putting the rear tire in the hole on the inside of the curve. Doesnt look like it in the pic but leans towards the hole. A vx will have no problem with their wheelbase...



    For GPS waypoints you can d/l them directly from Wells' web site. Each trail is a separate file so may take a bit to do.

    Or you can d/l a single file thanks to the guys at colorado4x4.org

    I've never done elephant hill. Whether its the vx run or you just want to run it again this year let me know steve and I'll go.

    Fins n things is much easier to follow now. Last year there were a lot of new signs up. I think the one wrong turn that everyone takes is the dead end before you get to the morning glory arch over look.

    Baby lionsback isnt part of any of the trails in that area. Its a separate obsticle on the way to hells revenge and FnT. Its really not bad, just a bit scary coming down the back side the first time.

    I posted this link on another thread but thought this is a better place. http://www.rr4w.com/pageview.aspx?id=33005
    This is the Red Rock 4-Wheelers Easter jeep Safari Paper. All of their trails are listed with difficulty ratings and descriptions. All of these trails are so well marked that about all you need is the start location anymore. Have fun planning and I wish we could be there this year but alas work duties are getting in the way.

    Time to think about Moab again...it's gettin' closer!!!...

    We're still tryin' to figger out if we're goin' bring our 2 doogies......we'll probably work it out OK, looks like most trails won't be in a National Park.

    i wouldnt suggest it sue... their paws have a tendency to get VERY VERY hot and burn the pads... (zeus informed me of this when i mentioned bringing bentley along for the ride)
