Still undecided which trails you want to run? Hopefully the pics and info here will help.
Friday March 27th
Medium 3.5-4.0
Lower & Upper Terminator -- Steve "tufftoy'
Terminator isn't far from camp and doesn't require highway travel. Running Lower and Upper with lifted and locked IFS trucks will take the better part of the day. A fun trail with many optional obstacles.
