I doo have a couple on that new trail. I'll wrap them with survey tape tomorrow and you can take a look and see if you two would be up to the task!! I'd like to have my video ready as with you two involved it would more than likely go viral...just saying

I guess it depends on where you want to ride. If you choose Coal Creek staging area which accesses the Rolling Hills, Coal Summit, the Wranglers Cabin, the pipeline, and the Notch you will be fine with 2WD.
If you want to access Harvey or Hartley Pass you will need 4x4 and maybe chains depending on snowfall amounts.

I actually thought I answered that post.....but then again I'm getting older and more forgetful.....

Maxwell, my man, the FSA has a two sided 11x17 map on waterproof paper that we use as a fund raiser. I will have a bunch of them available at the Meet and Greet on the Friday. They are $10 each or 10 for $100.

Two images; one a PDF for the Coal Creek staging area and the other a GoogleEarth image of the main trail to the Rolling Hills.

BTW the yellow trail below is a plowed logging road and it is closed to public traffic with a locked gate
