Registered for jeepfest now trying to decide what trails to do. First how long are the trails like distance and time wise? like 15 minutes? or 2 hours?. Also how difficult is difficult? it says you only need 33s and recommends a winch? sounds kinda intermediate. Just dont want to venture into anything like el presidente on last years trail. Thanks!!
  Everything is pretty easy, the trail to el presidente had more bumps then the easy and medium trails last year.

The "intermediate" trails last year were a complete joke. Easy trails must have just been a dirt road.

Ok..having not been to this before and not pre registered, but interested in checking it out for a day, is that even an option?
Do they have "day of" registratoin and if so is it completely crazy and not worth attempting? Share a little experience on this one if you will... many thanks,

they have had registration on event day but you still pay for the 3 day deal, they don't allow payment per day...at least the last 2 years they haven't.  And yes, it was pretty busy in the registration lines.  I would do it ahead of time if you want to go.

Also registration is only needed if you intend on doing the obstacle course or trail rides. If you just want to show up and check out the vendors and observe, there is no need to register.

Saw that ...thanks... is there a local address for this or simple directions as to where in Jasper this is? I know it sounds like a crazy Q, but I can't seem to find it clearly stated on the web site.

I just spoke to the jeepfest hot line folks and understand the location is nearly imposiible to miss just north of Jasper jeep off of 515... so that shoudl be good. I also understnad that both trail ride registration and event registration will begin Thursday at noon and again Friday at 8:00 am for those like me that want to check it out but were simply too show to pre-register...
I will be the one in my new tan GATR ball cap!!

Where else can you trash a grocery store parking lot and street with mud and the sheriff waves you thru and the fire department hoses it off.
