Do you happen to remember what elevation you started to see some snow on the ground?

Attempting a steep climb on Elephant Hill trail in Canyonlands with an original CV with 139,000 miles on it:





The result. Broke the driver's side axle inside the hub:

All, here's the new info on this trip, plus meeting times and locations, and a new sign-up.

The trip is now on Sunday 6/12. We will do only Sour Grass and then head to the back side of Deer Valley for a quick scouting run to check snow levels (stockers can ride along with a modified rig). This is still a single day run so there are no plans to even try to run all of Deer Valley, just a quick check to the top and back.

****************************
Meeting Spots & Times

9am at the Pleasanton McDonalds
6800 SANTA RITA RD
PLEASANTON, CA 94588

11:45am possibly 12 in Angels Camp (at Burger King)
290 South Main Street
Angels Camp, CA 95222

Hey guys.....glad to see this trip get moved back. I am in.......as long as I can bum a ride on the Deer Valley portion of the trip because I don't think my stocker will handle that trail. As far as Sour Grass goes I assume that one is stock friendly?

Just on a side note I was up in the Lakes Basin area this weekend (Gold Lake by Graeagle....Bassets.....Sierra Buttes) and there is ALOT of snow up there starting at about the 5500' level. Every trail I tried to get back on was blocked by snow. I couldn't even get withing 3 miles of the Buttes. What type of elevation is Sour Grass at.........or is there a Ranger station we can call to verify whether or not the trail is clear?

I'd call it stock doable trail.

To me, stock friendly trail is like Eagle Peak...requires 4Lo, but no need to worry about denting a rocker pannel or scraping the bottom. Stock doable trail would be...definitely requires 4Lo, and careful driving...and a spotter required at some places. Sliders would be a good idea...along with larger tires. etc.

It's about 4,100 ft through out. Trail runs pretty much along Stanislaus River...not much change in the elevation.

Hey guys.....I see that we are meeting at noon at Angels Camp. I don't know how long it takes to usually run Sour Grass.....but do you think we are starting to late in the day (especially if you want to head up and try Deer Valley)?

Then again I don't know how far these trails are from each other....so who am I to say. Inquireing minds (mine) want to know.

Thanks!

Hey, you skipped me!

For some reason, I don't feel like driving into DV this time. I don't need a seat, but maybe I'll take your sliders to get a ride. laugh

Yeah I am not sure I am going to head up to Deer Valley either since I have a stock rig.....I will more then likely head back after we get done with Sour Grass.

Here's some more info for those "inquireing minds" smile

I think I got it wrong, we should be in Angels Camp around 11 or 11:30, but we are only meeting Ryan there. Ryan keep my cell # handy and give me a call if you get there early.

We will quickly grab lunch (there's a supermarket, Burger King, and Subways there) and then head up to Sour Grass. Sour Grass shouldn't take more than 2.5 hours to run in, eat lunch, and the drive out. Then we've got a quick drive to DV and will spend about 2 hours driving in and out. The day should be over around 6 at the latest and then figure in your drive home.

Hope that helps. smile
