Trail Overview

Welcome to Meat Grinder. This is a very difficult and technical trail. Starting at the beginning, you have a nice meetup spot. As you start to go down the trail, there are bypasses for it if you don't want to mess up your rig. The gatekeeper is essentially a minefield of boulders. Once through the gatekeeper, there is a "Waterfall" - this is for long wheelbase and front and rear lockers. When you continue past the "Waterfall," there is another field of crawling rocks. The final right-hand turn has two lines. Left is the crawling field, right is the "Buggy Line," which should be reserved for highly capable rigs with spotters.
