Trail Overview
Rock Garden ** Park Rating: 4/5 ** Technical Rating: 8/10 ** Detailed Notes ** Short trail filled with huge rocks that get moved during events, meaning lines change regularly. High risk of tipping or rollovers, especially near exits. Best to walk it before driving. Partial outs exist but still require caution. Requires precise spotting and slow crawling. ** Vehicle Recommendations ** Lift with 37" tires minimum (larger preferred), lockers front and rear mandatory, winch required, underbody skid plates essential, spotter strongly recommended. ** Full Description ** Rock Garden is a short but extremely technical section that demands slow, deliberate crawling and strong nerves. With constantly shifting rock arrangements, every visit feels like a new trail, requiring drivers to walk and plan carefully before committing. Its big boulders, deep dips, and unpredictable terrain make it a favorite for those who love a pure crawling challenge. Rolling or body damage is a real risk if lines are missed. This is Barnwell's ultimate "thinking person's" trail -- for those who savor each careful inch.
