Red Lake

[ElPolloBlanco]

Hey everyone I'm going to Red Lake next weekend with some buddies of mine. I'm sure some of you have run that trail and the ones near it. What are somethings to look out for? My 80 is nearly stock so are there any spots that I should try to avoid?

Just take it slow. There are really no bypasses on the trail just how you pick the line. The trail just depends on how the winter was on it. It changes each year. Make sure it is open because it.is not scheduled to be.opened until June 15th at the earliest

If they aren't we'll prolly just find another trail. Plan is to go camping friday and saturday nights. Thanks for the heads up. Is there a website that list what trails are open and what's not? I found some decent info over at 4x4trailtalk.com

Body Damage, lots of it. Made it all the way to Coyote lake though. Trail gave the 80 hell though.

[deans87]

lots of bugs up there make sure to bring off. its not cold at night either.

Off is a must like dean said. It got down to the upper 40s last weekend but temps here in the valley where in the 100s. May be a little cooler this weekend but I doubt it. Have lots of fun.
