December 2002 - 6th Day Trail Rating - 5 Trip Leader: Chris Villarreal Photos submitted by Chris Villarreal, Eric Zite, Erik Malm Saturday morning arrived early. We were awoke by the first sounds in camp around 7:30am. I took an advance group down to the 6th Day to get them started in the trail and the rest of our group followed shortly.
The first section of trail is a good gauge, if you have any problems, turn back, it only gets worse. 35's on a Zuk should be considered minimum, 38's+ on anything bigger. Also, don't attempt this trail without spare parts (axles in particular). There is no easy way to recover a rig once you are past the first section. (Click for larger images)
Once you clear the first easy section, the trail smoothes out for a couple hundred feet but quickly becomes clogged with large boulders. I heard someone comment that this wasn't a rockcrawl, but rather a VW crawl.
After running this trail several times I think the best way thru is to put one tire as high as possible most of the times.
Brian followed my run thru the first hard section. The cool thing about this trail is the multitude of lines you can try.

Followed by Chris Geiger and Jack. |
