I ran Rusty Nail in '00 with
. I don't know if or what has changed on the trail since so YMMV. In '00, it was a great trail. The entrance obstacle can separate the men from the boys very quick. Do it right and things go smooth,
do it wrong and you can ruin your whole day.
Then there are always those that aren't content to take the "easy route" in.
The trail never lets up. I do not have pictures of the spot, but this trail earned one lucky
member a bonehead award for a stuck that took a few hours to overcome.
There are climbs that can test your rig and descents that will surely test your nerve.
One such spot consists of a small drop onto a BIG boulder, making a several point turn to line up and slide off the rock nearly the length of your wheelbase down to a very narrow landing patch on the edge of a 200+ foot ledge.
(For reference that bush by the front tires is at the edge)
Once down you squeeze along a rock wall that forces you to take whatever line nature hands you.
Then drop over another big rock at the end that tests your rear bumper even with 33's and 6+" of lift.
.
Once off the trail (if you haven't had enough) it's a quick run over to the Golden Crack and Double whammy if you dare.
Rusty nail is a hardcore trail by
standards and is worth the trip.
