Yes, I know what you mean. I ran it March 21.

Which campsites did you get?

Do you have others going? I know you're allowed three vehicles per camp site.

I got Airport and Labrynth. One person dropped out and I don't wanna waste a spot. This is hard to come by. I understand it is last minute. ;)

 

[Neal A. Tew]

Are you looking for someone to fill a spot?

Yes. definitely love to have another person to join us on trip.

I just ran White Rim a few weeks ago: https://www.overlandbound.com/forums/threads/going-back-to-a-full-size-for-my-overlanding.41591/page-3#post-634635

For anybody on the fence about making this trip, I highly recommend it. It must be seen in person, pics don't do it any justice.

We did it Saturday the 1st of this month. I hadn't been there before, so I can't say if Hardscrable was 'damaged' just that it was in fine shape overall and no problem in 2wd.

You mentioned you did in reverse? I started from Island in the sky and will exit at Mineral Rd. Is that the same route as yours?

Based on what I have been watching, my route would be an uphill for Hardscrable. :) aka FUN.

It seems the trail is not damaged if you did it early Oct.

We entered via Mineral Bottom, went "backwards" starting by driving to the Labyrinth A/B campgrounds for Fri night. Then Sat we ran it all the way around counter-clockwise Including going down Hardscarbble and exited out the Schafer Switchbacks. I wouldn't be at all worried about going up Hardscrabble either though.

Awesome.. I definitely do reverse of your route. stay at airport then a long 70 miles to get to Labrynth. Can't wait. This is my dream trip ever since I dabbled into overland.
