Death Valley Run - lets plan it

[debordj]

WOW - well...after seeing that...if you guys do Lippencott, I will have to skip that portion of the concert! No way am I going down that road with my SuperCrew.

Well Lippencott is out - don't want any issues. I have seen video of a Tundra thru Steel pass without issues but then again we are only 80 wide. Maybe we can hit the racetrack the first day and then back out and up to the Dunes. If we have to backtrack from Eureka Dunes that would be fine. I don't want to tear up any vehicles. I have only done Titus canyon and Echo Canyon in my truck, everything else was in a Jeep.
Since you have been out there recently and have any suggestions feel free to post.

You seem to know some good places and I think eureka would be really cool to camp at! I would just avoid those 2 passes, without an experiences group of folks, or at least those not afraid of a few scratches.

With a group of guys willing to be adventurous, I'd do it again... But not in an open invitation group of random people.

Have you been up to chloride city, and the peak that's up there? It's amazing.

I would shy away from any rougher, narrow, limited turnaround routes for a Raptor run. They're very capable trucks but they are big and meant more for open, high speed routes. You might find some willing to risk dents and damage on these routes but most will likely shy away from that. My old Bronco would eat that up but that's not what a Raptor is. Depending on what you guys decide, I'd give this some serious thought but I'd be in more for some routes where we can air out the Raptors a little and explore some good trails that won't scare everyone away.

 

[N2Deep]

Definitely not gonna put anybody or myself in the position for possible damage. Trucks are not Rock Crawlers. LOL
Eureka Dunes is a good road - some hi speed spots
Racetrack is a good road- just washboard but the trucks should handle that just fine.
Titus Canyon is a good road
Goler Wash can be iffy - couple of waterfalls but that could depend on who goes and if we want to check it out.

 

[BlueSVT]

Goeler wash is fine... did it 2 weeks ago. They've graded it, and the waterfall is a piece of cake now! Only thing is some brush growing in the spring, "light" pin striping, but minimal.

Hunter Mountain Pass, Titus Cayon, both must see!

I took my super crew through Lippencott pass and steel pass last year. I did some minor adjustments to my exhaust pipe in Steel pass. Count on scrapping something but you can get through Steel pass no prob. This summer I take the long travel Raptor through there. Lippencott was easy except for one spot that only gave me about 6 inches of space to spare. The drop off was about 30 feet into a wash if u blow it. I will have to think about it before going down it with a wider LT Raptor. But I think I can fit if the road did not change.

I highly recommend the road and area at the top on the Inyo and White mountains near the Cerro Gordo mine. You have to see the mine and the Salt Tram. Google it.
