  • The start of the trail was quite easy, wheeling into Gold Lake 4x4 Campground. The only really difficult section was in the first 100 yards of the trailhead. From there it was a very simple trail to the campgrounds.
    Once we passed the campgrounds and turned left up the hill everything got a bit more difficult. Only one difficult section heading up towards summit lake. From there you turn right and head out towards little deer lake and snake lake. We decided to go counter-clockwise around the lakes, and I think this was an easier direction.
    There was a very steep downhill heading down to snake lake that would have been quite difficult for the 4Runner to make it up. but since we were going downhill we had gravity on our side.

    That said, the other side going up to little deer lake (where we camped) wasn't an easy uphill either. We ran into a group that was winching up a very steep rocky section, and because the wet weather definitely made things slippery and for some interesting wheeling.

    I've camped that area, I love it. Thank you for including that the camp sites are first come first serve. I had a lot of other campers yell at me for setting up in a stall and they claimed they were "reserved". So, I had to camp in a spot that wasn't a designated camping area. Oh well, I enjoyed my trip regardless. Plus the drive over to snake lake was really nice. Just wish my rig was capable of getting down the trail. Awesome vid guys!

    looks awesome. I'm thinking about checking this trail out in my 2019 Tacoma double cab short bed. 2.5" lift and 33's locked front and rear with skids and sliders. I'm hoping I can navigate through, that tight squeeze out looks tough.

    Plan to head up there end of this month, hopefully COVID will lift to open trails to campgrounds in time. Thanks for sharing this trip of yours as it helps with all my planning. I am running 33" on a slightly lifted 4R (285/70). Should I air down much for this rocky terrain if only going to 4x4 campground?

    • @SnailTrail4x4
      @SnailTrail4x4  Před 4 lety +1

      I would if you have a way to air up. Maybe go down to 12-15psi
