what kind of rig do you have?
if its wide and/or long and/or doesent turn (like mine) then be prepared to make multi-point turns...
the mud is smelly, there will be lots of it...
the place is state funded and run by volunteers, (pretty easy goin) you need an ohv sticker or license plates

dont go alone, and have fun!

I've got a Rubicon on 37's. I'm burnt on the Badlands so I'm looking for somewhere new. Been to the Cliffs, too muddy for me.....

Funk and I went last weekend. Its alot of muddy hill climbs, mud holes on the trail and they have some man made rock sections. I dont think it is as bad as the cliffs from what I hear but it is muddy and TIGHT!

Redbird is my favorite place around the area.

Lots of tight, technical trails. Can't be afraid to rub trees.

Trails are marked very well.

It can be muddy. Most of it has a hard bottom. So, you don't have to sling mud.

I believe there is over 1000 acres open.

Anybody have photos/vid of them in the rock garden? I've never seen anyone in it while I was there.
