Lockhart Basin

Great adventure. Lots of camp spots. I got a bit stuck on the climb right before the major hairpin coming from chicken corners. Needed more ground clearance (on 33s). Definitely thankful for my sliders and skids.

Sorry this isn't more specific, we started this trail from the south and headed north towards Moab. The color coding for this trail and indeed the app in general is not helpful. The trail was easy (green) for the first 12 miles or so. After that the trail became more technical and fit it's moderate (blue) color coding. About 22 miles in, we got to a very difficult spot in the trail which had 2 tough (for me) obstacles very close to one another. I felt it would have been an easy place to get stuck between the 2. The second one was a 2 foot uneven shelf where I was afraid of rolling my 4Runner. Moreover, I didn't have skid plates and there were skid plate scars all over the top of the shelf. I'm a novice off-roader and this extreme obstacle was too much for me. Turned around and drove back the way we came. I think the trail should have been color coded red for that section. I wish the app would color code sections of the trail instead of what appears to be a rating based on averaging the easy with the extreme.

I read a bunch of trail reports before we took this trail. I figured it would be rough but we had no issues. There are some technical sections and they are mostly within the 1 or so miles south of chicken corners but we cleared all sections with stock Bronco Badlands without any help needed. Our rigs do have fwd and aft lockers and 35s. We did scrape bottom and rims have some new character but that's to be expected in these environments. Temps were cold camping was very cold. Overall good times.

Didn’t get any photos of the rough spots. But about 2 miles south of chickens corners was pretty rough on the f150 on 35’s. But if you don’t care if your vehicle gets dented. It’s a fun challenge.
