Vehicle Requirements & Types: We understand folks love side by sides, four wheelers and motorcycles but this trip is intended for regular vehicles only. The equivalent of a Jeep Wrangler with a two inch lift and 33" tires is a minimum. Lockers are not necessary but you should have 4WD and low range. These are the bare minimum vehicle requirements. You still will probably hit a dif or something as there are many boulders on the trail. Going real slow over these boulders should prevent damage if you hit. One really nice obstacle is near the end of the trail. Please bring a vehicle in good enough condition to make the trip. Bring a spare tire so we have a better chance of completing the planned trip.

About the Trail: We will take Lulu Pass Trail Road and after about 2 miles the road turns into a 4WD trail. The rest of the trail is only about 8 miles but it is not a fast 8 miles. The scenery is wonderful and you will be glad you are going slow! :-)

Food: Bring your own snacks and lunch.

Lunch Stop: We will be stopping along the way for lunch. We could easily spend an hour meeting people, looking at rigs, eating, etc.

Main Stops: Just 2 miles in, (before the 4WD road begins) we will stop at two mine ruins that are very interesting. We will go on to Round Lake and stop here for a break and photos I'm sure you will want to take. Next, we will take a short stop at Star Lake. We will continue on for about 1 mile to a nice obstacle where we will watch everyone go through in case they need help with lines. Then, we continue on to the Beartooth Wilderness boundary.

Etiquitte: We want this trip to be fun for all involved. Please be considerate of everyone. This is a drug/alcohol free trip.
