Trail Overview
When you get to this intersection along Wrangler's Nest Trail the trail offers three (3) options. The road to the right is the published trail route. An alternate route to the left heading into the wash and returning to the trail 1/4 mile North. This is the Center or Straight option. Up a steep incline leading to the pinnacle 'nest' atop the mountain. In a Jeep, Tacoma, or small high-clearance SUV this obstacle is as spooky as Fins and Things in Moab, UT. for most of this obstacle you cannot see the trail in front of you. A front camera is highly recommended or at least use a spotter. Momentum is your friend, however, do not confuse momentum with speed. Too fast and you just might find yourself rolling off the peak. :-)

Difficulty
This obstacle requires climbing up a steep continuous grade with changing terrain and turns that confuse the driver due to the lack of visibility from the cockpit. At the very top of the obstacle, cautious navigation is required to remain on the trail as the articulation changes from the driver's side to the passenger side while the trail goes over the peak and turns driver. This is a challenging yet realistic obstacle for experienced off-roaders. Note: This obstacle is fun, but not as challenging for SxS's.
