Engineer Pass will be the toughest trail, Cinnamon Pass will be slightly easier, and the rest of the trails we decide to do after that will be even easier. We may move a little faster or slower depending on how the group feels. I will be in no rush, but if we're making great time and the group feels good about getting in some extra trail time, then we'll do that. We will not be sleeping in any towns. There is extensive information on Engineer Pass and Cinnamon Pass found all over the Internet so please check it out if you haven't been before. I'd recommend a 4WD vehicle with 33" tires or better, however, I will leave it up to you to do your research and decide if your rig is capable. Plenty of skilled drivers have done it in less capable rigs so I will not turn anyone away if they feel confident. Reminder: Tuesday, 7/4/2023 is Independence Day.
