| Carnage Canyon Trial 20 Feb, 2010 Vehicle requirements are: 33 inch tires, two Lockers Stock vehicles are welcome to join us, you can park at the end of the trail and hike down it as we try to conquer Carnage Canyon. Once at Carnage Canyon you will have several options depending on your four-wheeling appetite. For the easier routes, you can drive around and check out all the trails in the area. For the hikers you can drive to the end of Carnage Canyon and hike down the trail and watch as the Jeeps crawl up it. Carnage Canyon, the trail travels it way up ledge after ledge working its way to the top of the canyon. The trail has 7 or 10 main obstacles that are all unnamed for now. The first one is a rock ledge about 3 feet tall. Further along, the trail presents many steep ledges on loose rocky surfaces, and several places that will really test your suspension articulation and leave you spinning tires in mid air even with lockers. There are even several "waterfall" type obstacles that can definitely get your attention. The trail travels about 3/4 mile before you are faced with a tall waterfall this obstacle is the biggest obstacle on the trail but maybe not the hardest. In fact, even with lockers, getting to The Wall will involve a lot of what seems to be a hopeless search for traction. The Wall is an almost vertical wall of rock over 5 feet tall that blocks the trail completely. Once past the wall it is only a mile or so to the end, but it is a long steep, loose, and rocky climb. You will almost certainly need 35 inch tires and two lockers to make this climb. The trail looks so hard and rocky that even with lockers forward progress looks like it will bring carnage. When the trail finally ends the panoramic view from there is astounding and this is a perfect place to set up camp. Meeting: The bottom of Transmountain and HWY 54 at the Circle K gas station on the Northeast Side of El Paso Date/Time 20 Feb at 08:30 |
