ONe of the more challenging trails for sure!!!!!

Has anyone run Steam Shovel in the last few years? It's east of Sand Mountain on Hwy 50. I know they ran a Jeep Jamboree there in '98 or 99'. They turned over a few stock jeeps on that run. After that year they had a quick spring thaw that made the trail go from a class 2/3 to 'oh my god!!' It took my friends and me 10 hrs to make it up the first 2 miles taking the east to west route. We passed the president of the local 4 wheel drive club (running solo)on the way up and told him how bad the trail was. He gave us an unconcerned look and continued down. We saw his Jeep at the local shop and the mechanic said he ripped the exhaust out and trashed a driveshaft. They used to keep the trail pretty mild but that year it was awesome. That was the most fun I've had in a long time. I haven't been in the area in 5 years and was curious if the trail is still in use. I would like to run it again in the "OMG!" state.

blutoylit · 01-10-2007, 07:39 PM

Bolivia-1 cool climb about a 5 the rest of the 4 miles 3-4. Completely unmolested & scenic, maybe cause it's 70 miles straight south of me-and I'm in the middle of nowhere!

Where's that Tim, Tobins ?

nvduckdog · 01-19-2007, 08:20 PM

Bolivia is @ the Northeast corner of the Stillwater range, next to Fencemaker. It's best run east to west.

blutoylit · 01-20-2007, 07:38 PM

Wow someone else has been there, right on

Brian maybe you should know because it's by the dixie valley powerplant

Rock Raptor · 01-21-2007, 05:03 PM

Did Steamshovel (East to West) in November 06, with 2 other rigs. Trail is now definately not for the stock or slightly modified rigs. Stream was running pretty good and there is two (small) waterfalls that are off-camber (the first has windshield and door glass from a couple of rigs that rolled) and two pretty deep mudholes that are un-avoidable due to narrow tall ledges. We went as far as the Fallon Turn-off sign (Snowing heavy) and ran it back from West to East to our trailers. Gonna do it again in the spring when the snow melts, and then maybe over to Bolivia.
Tried Cottonwood Canyon about 5 years ago from the power plant to bolivia but got hung up at a 12 foot granite rock sticking out of the wash and no-where to anchor (we didn't have the equipment at the time) with the winch to pull our rigs up. Gonna do that again next year in the Samurai also.
