Short Cut

Trail Overview

Short Cut is a popular trail that rewards the right line but punishes mistakes. The first obstacle is a tricky slab Z-turn that tests articulation and often drags rigs down towards the wall. Be sure to glance up to the right as you approach, an old mine shaft vent is carved into the rocks. Shortly after, an impressive V-notch climbs toward the top, with a tub silently waiting below. One wrong tire placement here, and you can find yourself on your side in an instant. Tight rock walls continue along the trail, challenging both short and long wheelbase vehicles, and as quickly as you start, the trail ends.
