In all the years my family and I have been coming up to Tahoe for the summer, this was the first one that we’ve seen so much snow stick around so long and well into the month of July. In fact, by the 4th of July weekend, we had heard that nobody had been able to run the entire length of the Rubicon Trail.
In all the years we have been coming up to Tahoe in the summer, I’d have to say this is the first time that we’ve seen so much snow stick around for so long. In fact, even though it’s July, we had heard reports that the Rubicon Jeep Trail was still covered in deep snow from about the top of Cadillac Hill, down to the staging area near Tahoma and enough so that buggies were only recently breaking trail over the 4th of July weekend.
Rough Country Suspension ® Products is proud to announce The JK Front Bumper with recessed winch plate and integrated fog light mounts.
On our way up this year, we decided to take a slight detour up U.S. Route 6, head up and over the White Mountains and explore some of the cool ghost towns in Nevada’s Candelaria Hills.
Extreme, off-roading customers asked for a quality made bumper with more tire clearance and Bestop answered with new HighRock4×4 Narrow Front Bumper. This custom-built bumper features tapered ends to master extreme tire clearance and tackles any obstacle that a rock can through at it. Made from the same quality craftsmanship Bestop is known for, the new Narrow bumper features 3/16� laser cut stamped steel MIG-welded construction with E-coat plus wrinkle finish and powder-coat for superior protection and outstanding durability.
High up in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, there is a narrow corridor that cuts between the John Muir and Dinky Lakes Wilderness Areas, and within it lies one of the most famous hardcore trails in the State of California – The Dusy Ersim. In this short video, you’ll get to follow the adventure we had as we made our way across this relentlessly tough yet, beautiful trail. We hope you enjoy.
Well, just for fun, we decided to put together a short high speed video clip showing Lil’ Nemo thawing out from a blanket of snow he got over the weekend.
Memorial Day Weekend is typically a time when we like to kick off summer and start our wheeling trips back up to the Sierra Nevada mountains. However, with all the snow we saw all weekend long, I think “winter finale� might have been more appropriate. At least, that’s what our good friend Tim liked to call it anyway.
Earlier in the week, there was some discussion about doing an easy scenic run to finish up our week long Moab adventures but, that didn’t last long and, come Friday, it was all about going out with a BANG!! And, that’s why we chose to do a run up Goldbar Rim and a part of the Golden Spike Trail to get out to the Golden Crack. On these trails, we saw lots of big ledges, all kinds of slickrock to play on and outstanding views out to the Colorado River and beyond.
For our 5th day in Moab, we decided to take the day off from wheeling and do a little sightseeing on foot in the ever beautiful Arches National Park. And, being that the Delicate Arch is essentially the symbol, the icon that represents, that would be our main destination for the day.
Day 4 of our Moab Easter Jeep Safari would take us up to sandstone plains of the Poison Spider Mesa Trail. By far one of the most famous trails in the Moab area, Poison Spider Mesa features steep climbs up slickrock faces, off camber shoots, technical v-notch sections and fun sand dunes to rip down.
For Day 3, it was time to kick things up a notch and challenge both Jeep and Driver alike on the Cliffhanger Trail. Right from the get go, this trail has big ledges you have to decend, tough rock gardens you have to climb and never racking narrow shelf roads that hug the side of towering cliff faces.
