Ooooh lots of pics! Thanks!
Looks like fun. Hoping to make it up there someday.

Anyone want to talk about the cost?

$50 a day is pricey.  Real pricey, especially with no night riding.  But...I think it was worth it.

The Comfort Inn is close, and relatively cheap, with super comfy beds, but they used steel pipe for the water lines, so you need to brush your teeth with bottled water (ask me how I know), and you might come out of the shower dirtier than you went in.

The comfort inn was perfect except for that damn nasty water.  Likely won't stay there again.

I won’t repeat everything, but damn this place was awesome. Hell of a group, wheeled some serious nastiness!

Very handy yourself Justin.

Friday pics

*Thursday edit- thanks for the reminder Clark, I forgot about my hoes. The low pressure line from the reservoir to the pump split and sprayed fluid on my belt, ruining the belt. I had a spare length of hose and belt and I was able to repair on the trail, with much needed help from everyone there.

Saturday pics.

More red trails and the MASSIVE rock garden. Can't tell in the pic, but it goes another couple hundred yards further back around the corner than what's in the pic where Clark's and Wes' jeep look tiny. It's a one and done trail for me... 2/10 would not do again. The rocks are huge, you cant see the bottom between them, and in some places you can hear water running.

Sticky tires work miracles out here... I rarely had to get on the throttle, and never pulled my winch cable. I did ask to get hooked up once for a perceived safety issue for a situation on the comp course where I wasnt comfortable, but the expert spotting from the group would have been sufficient.

7/7 would go back, and I highly recommend Rausch Creek

A note of caution...if you do not have a trailer, coming to this park is a huge gamble.  I am not trying to discourage anyone from coming but the 24-hour round trip plus the terrain makes it super questionable.

Good point... we did see an FJ being dragged up the creek by the Park's recovery vehicle. It was probably a few miles from the camp, plus figuring out how to get home afterward

That was on a blue, correct? Or was it a purple?

Purple, which I think means it's a riverbed
