Trail Overview

A wild river bed ride awaits on Tin Tin. There is a large boulder at the beginning of the trail that will require some climbing off-camber to pass. Along the route will be medium-sized rocks that can cause damage to vehicles that have not had modifications. Towards the end of the trail is a wide boulder that has to be scaled to complete the trail. This can cause your vehicle to lift the front driver-side tire. This trail gives a front-row seat to the canyon's history with the geological layers of red Sandstone shot through with white veins of Satin Spar Gypsum. There are also large areas of cryptobiotic living soil that have taken up residence over the ground and rocks on this trail.

Fun trail. The east southeastern end west to the green trail Roundabout is very rocky with the danger of scrapping the side of your vehicle or hanging up your skid plates because of rocks. If you have anything bigger than a Colorado Trail boss you might skip this section. I made it through, but would not recommend for a novice.
