Last weekend some friends and I tried to get to the East Walker River in Tuolumne National Forest. It’s about a 6 mile long trail from the graded gravel road to the river. There is quite a bit of elevation drop and the trail goes down a normally dry stream bed down into a canyon. It is always pretty rough, but no problem for my RZR 4 900. Now it is totally impassable. 2-3 foot ruts down the middle of the trail and washouts across the trail, plus there are large boulders now exposed. Got pretty far down the trail but it got so narrow and the ruts and boulders were too big. Almost got it stuck down there, which would have been very difficult to extract.

It was fun to push the limits of the RZR, but it could have turned out pretty bad.

Just want to give a heads up to anyone planning a trip out to that area. I heard from a local that there are a lot of trails like that in that area due to heavy thunderstorms this summer.
