Trail Overview
Scorpion Overlook ** Park Rating: 2/5 ** Technical Rating: 8/10 ** Detailed Notes ** A tight, technical rocky climb with no bypasses, demanding commitment once entered.

At the summit, drivers are rewarded with panoramic views and three exit options: easy left, moderate middle, and extreme right (buggy-level). ** Vehicle Recommendations **Lift with 35" tires minimum, lockers highly recommended, winch suggested, experienced drivers only, not for stock rigs. ** Full Description ** Scorpion Overlook is an advanced climb for drivers ready to fully engage both their rig and skills. The trail's steep, rocky path forces precise line selection and continual adjustments, especially in the tight switchbacks. Once at the top, the stunning 360-degree view provides a rewarding payoff and memorable photo opportunities. The different exit options allow for a final challenge tailored to driver skill and confidence. It's a trail that demands respect and preparation but offers one of the best scenic rewards at Barnwell.
