Thinking of maybe making this a two day trip next week (Wednesday morning to Thursday afternoon). Plan to camp out somewhere in the middle and maybe kayak at the dam. Start at the green dot, take the yellow route, end up at one of the red dots. This seems to be about 8 hours of driving and 30 miles based on the trailsoffroad info.
What are y'alls thoughts? Seems that all trails are easy-moderate so I think my cousin and I (both with almost no experience) should be okay to make this trip. 2016 Colorado and 2000 4 runner, both 4x4.
We have a lot to learn this trip about ourselves and our rigs but we can't wait. Fuel usage, rig capabilities, typical dos and donts, basic navigation techniques, etc.
Any and all constructive guidance, advice, and input is appreciated. If anyone wants to tag along that would be great as well!
Start at the south end (green dot) and head north on Grasshopper Rd.

Then once we hit the start of Badger Lake Rd take it in and out (may camp out of the RTT and kayak here),

Once we get back to the start of Badger Lake Rd finish Grasshopper Rd by going North.
Head East at intersection on Bennett Pass Rd

Then at the end of Bennet Pass Rd, finish on either Lookout Mountain Rd or Cold Springs Rd (red dot)
