Rausch Creek 2019: Stories, Lies, Pics, and Carnage

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

I saw "blue black" on a sign as we headed in.  They were to the left of us, so I wasn't sure if it was purple or blue.

Another thing to mention again is the blue trails really suck. I'd hate to know i drove all that way and i only rode those, the greens and some of the easy blacks.

That place looks awesome!!! I’ve been wanting to go for a while, just can’t ever find time plus the cost has always put me off. Now that I know it’s worth the price I might look into it next year...

This was an expensive trip.  Went through my receipts and will document below.  I stayed at a hotel for all 4 nights so if you camp you can save.  Jay split the cost of one night but I have not accounted for that here


Diesel:  $377.45

Gas:  18.09 - I had about 1/2 a tank already in the jeep

Hotel:  349.38, this was at the Comfort Inn and I will likely not stay there again.

RC park:  $120, $20 to register as a club member and $50 for the first day.  $50 for Saturday.  This would have been more if Friday had not been a rain out.

Food, dranks, ice, etc, etc:  $100

Total:  $964.92


Soooo.....a cool grand for the trip. 

I still say it was worth it.  It was one hell of a good time.

Wow! $50 a day! What were the amenities at the park like if you camped? Showers/bathrooms, etc...?
