Trail Descriptions

Green Acres Area
Wet n Wild (5):As the name implies this trail starts off fast and furious in a creek and provides lots of excitement.

Jeff's Ledges (5): Continues up the same creek where Wet n Wild leaves off and has several ledges.

Fence Line (3): A sweet little trail with some off camber hills ending in a sandy creek.

Black Sheep Blvd (X): Though the name implies it is a road, this is far from it. Only the strong will survive this one created by the Black Sheep!

8-point (4): Hold on tight and keep your hands and feet in the vehicle at all times. This trail is very technical with severe off cambers...pucker up!

Waterfall (4): A short trail up a couple of waterfalls, the action can be viewed from Walter's Mule Road.

Green Mamba (5+): A thrilling ride through creeks reminiscent of Snake Pit, some say it is even better!

Three Trail (4): A three trail rated a 4? Yes, this trail climbs up several fairly significant ledges on the way to the top of the mountain.

Walk in the Park (5): It is recommended that you have a winch to run this trail, although the trail sign has a slightly different spelling.

Cakewalk (5): The trail has two sections each of which provide some technical challenges.

Walter's Mule Road (3): This is the main road through the new property that hooks up with the roads to the fire tower and caves.

New Trail (2): This fairly mild trail follows an old fire access road

Van Alstvne Jeeps in Action (5): Running from the top of the mountain through a creek at the bottom and back up, this trail has numerous off camber turns and lots of excitement. Trail may be Closed.

Back Side Loop (3 or 4): Begins at the top of the
mountain and goes to the bottom. A right at the Y begins a level 4 trail, a left begins a level 3 trail.

Slim's Slope (X): Not for the weak of heart, this trail can start in the middle and it is tough, start from the bottom and it is nuts.

Green Mamba Extension (X): A much more intense extension of the already difficult Green Mamba. Thrills are guaranteed.

Extreme trails that marked on the map but not desribed above.

Some info for those that have not been to Clayton and for those that have.

this should be a sticky in the trips section

[MR.ZAP]

Agreed... Hey Busa, never been there before so are the numbers real indicative of the terrain? Or is it kinda wishy washy?

[breckboarder55]

From what I remember they are pretty accurate.

[Busa]

It is close to what's there. All the trails are marked out there.

[Shaggy]

I took the tj on green mamba. It has several bypasses

The nice thing about Clayton is that the trails all pretty much criss-cross or are otherwise close together. For the most part, a hard group and easy group can take off together, take different trails, and still end up together. It's not the kind of place where you have to choose easy or hard and stick with that difficulty the rest of the day.

[jerryg79]

unless you choose 8 point, then you will spend your whole trip there

[MR.ZAP]

Bad ass... and got it, avoid 8 point haha

[Shaggy]

I don't advise people to drive like me. My jeep may not look like Creighton's yet but I have a feeling it will have more dents in less runs

[breckboarder55]

Has anyone plotted the trails with GPS coordinates and put them into google?

[mudtoy67]

unless you choose 8 point, then you will spend your whole trip there

8 point has three ways out now. I think we'll be able to avoid the usual loitering/boozfest that occurs when some Roscoe parks his jeep in the middle of the trail.













That is...if we choose to.

Choose schmooze! Break out the cooler!
