I have video ...the paths are all over and are definately not designed for anything bigger than a Wrangler. Dont even bother brining a Full size truck or suv, it will get destroyed.

Its a little of both. But expect a little body damage cause of how tight the trails are. But you dont need nothing special, ive seen people up there with bf all terrains and do fine

I would agree your tires just need to have some decent tread, but the trails are not wide at all, we were slamming both mirrors between trees in jeeps

You'll likely have to register to view, but it will be well worth it. And for that matter, the club makes trips to GWNF pretty often, and the club is very open to non-Xterra visitors with the group, so you may just want to stick around for the fun!

The very first GWNF trip the club made, I was there with my BONE stock 2WD Xterra, and only needed help once up a rocky incline that even got a 4WD or two stuck on. The rest of the day was cake for me.

Hell if I know. Just register on VAXC, it takes 2 minutes, then you can view all of them. And most of them are labeled with where we were, I honestly have no idea. I was just tagging along enjoying the drive.

Oh I got it now. I guess the website was having problems last night. I see, but don't recognize ANY of those spots....how did you get there? GWNF is huge.

All I remember is a Sheetz gas station right next to the I-85 overpass. Then I followed the caravan up to the hills. It was about a 30 minute drive from the interstate up backroads.
