lefthand canyon

[co4x4couple]

anyone know how much of lefthand is accessable was thinkin of trying it saturday. and how accurate are those trail guide books? it says ist a very difficult trail but ive heard differently.

[scottycards]

All open. Totally accessible. If you get on a trail that's too tough, you can turn around and go down pretty easily.

It's a fun area.

The squeeze is the only required "difficult" part on the main trail. Those books always overrate the difficulty of a trail. There are optional routes in the LHC trailsystem that are more difficult.

Not sure how much snow they got up there from this last storm...I have run it this time in the past and it was snow free, but this has been a pretty snowy spring.

is it more difficult than spring creek? did thay one last year. had to winch several times. but got thru with no damage.

[ArloGuthroJeep]

Much easier then Spring Creek.

dont think you will have a problem. What rig are you running? Like arlo said, most, if not all of the obsticles have bypasses.

[MountainJeep]

its an ice rink I am sure. meaning, much of the trail you will be driving/sliding on ice

[milehighcowboy]

it is a rink drove up there last night to see how bad it was. not too much snow less than an inch but definatly icy.

Well, there's the Lefthand Canyon trail, which is almost dirt-road easy, then there is the Carnage Canyon trail which is as hard as you want to make it depending on which obstacles you take.

On Carnage, most every obstacle has three lines - a bypass or easy line, a modified rig line, and a "you better bring a buggy" line. Locked front/rear you can do all the modifed line and try some of the harder ones depending on your willingness to accept potential body damage. The lower section is not bad, the waterfall is pretty slick, the area above that is pure ice.

"Upper Carnage" has all the obstacles roped off, and is VERY slick and sketchy in some spots.

I just ran Carnage today and it was easy as pie. Few sections of ice but nothing major and the sections that were ice actually made it easier. I love that trail as it is fun and beautiful and offers something for every level of wheeler.
