I would guess so, it is kind of a centeral hub for the area, there is sure to be at least one open.

i was sorta planning on staying overnight saturday somewhere out there, perhaps right off the trail. seems like a lot of stuff to do in one day and then drive back even though we're much closer than you are. if we finish out the trail on saturday i'm sure we can hop over to a nearby trail like strawberry pass or deer valley which are in that area as well, then finish out on sunday morning or something, i dunno.

Looks like im the first one back. The trail was amazing. Great views, and great obstacles that we had lots of fun on, everything from boulders, snow, and a really annoying mud pit. Itll take me a while to post up all my pics because my internets slow, but theyll be here. I'm looking forward to the next trip up there. Great meeting you all too

wow!! i live the furthest and 3rd to post ..
Well i feel the same as snow and stockwell .. was a great trip had a great time , great trail.. great group of guys..

we had very little damge to the trucks .. couple srcatches andsome mudflaps got torn off but i think thats it .

my truck and fairys truck started over heating at the beginning of the trail .. fairytales put a raw egg in his radiator and that fixed the problem for the most part.
I had to remove my hood and stuff the grill with snow at every chance i got ..
Thank you Brian for carrying my hood in your bed .. I owe you Man ..

im uploading pics to photobucket now ..

I'd love to say that this was an excellent trip and I had a blast! It felt so surreal to finally meet everyone in person! Too bad the trail is only runnable for a short part of the year, I'd love doing this more than once a year. Glad to meet everyone and have a great weekend with you guys. This was my first real wheeling experience and everyone made it great.

dang you guys were quick. looks like you guys got things pretty much covered pics wise, but i'll throw up a few in the trip reports thread a little later.

to all of you who didn't come, you really missed out on a great wheeling trip! for all of you who are thinking of doing this trail, DO IT! you won't be disappointed (unless you've got a full size rig) - you've got everything covered: magnificent mountaintop views, easy dirt sections, cobble sections, boulder rock gardens, tight squeezes, open areas, good hill climbs, nice descents, forested areas, and the great outdoors where you can actually put your tires on dirt instead of just words on the net.

Nah man, throw them all up. It's always nice to have more photos and more angles.

And to add on that, meant to say it over, don't worry if you don't have a locker. Three of our seven rigs on this trip were open/open and had no problem. TTORA requires a locker, 4x4trailmaps.com says you need a "slightly modified vehicle." Ha, not in a Yota.
