Trail Overview

Sidewinder ** Park Rating 3/5 ** Technical Rating: 7/10 ** Detailed Notes ** Steep climbs, stair-step ledges (2'-4'), optional deep pond crossing with bypass. Large washout areas with roots, off-camber hill climbs, and tight turns. Crosses Old Town Trio and Wile E. Coyote. ** Vehicle Recommendations ** Lift with 40" tires minimum, lockers front and rear recommended, winch required. ** Full Description ** Sidewinder is a twisting trail that delivers steep ascents and tight off-camber descents in quick succession. Big stair-step ledges challenge drivers to keep momentum while controlling slip. The optional pond crossing tempts those looking to add a splashy element to their run. Whether threading between washouts or climbing slick root-lined hills, Sidewinder demands a careful blend of throttle control and patience. A great option for advanced drivers looking to test line choices and flex without full commitment to the park's most extreme trails.
