Cherry Creek is a 41 mile run through the Sierra Anchas that spans a range of geographies from mountain pine to low desert. This trip is considered a bit of a swan song for the trail as it is slated to be closed by the Forest Service via their recent Travel Management Plan. We have a short span of time where running the trail is still allowed.

TRAIL DIFFICULTY: Exploratory
Experience driving difficult trails recommended. Trail gains its rating for the following reasons:
Off camber: mild to extreme
Possible high water crossings
Narrow shelf roads
Trail/switchback washouts guaranteed
Potential for body damage
Vehicle Minimums:
All vehicles are required to meet state legal requirements, (i.e.: current registration and insurance) & have functional seat-belts for each occupant
Must have suitable recovery points front and rear
Rock sliders/rocker protection
Skid plate protection of important components
Flexy suspension with sway bar disconnects
High-clearance 4x4 with low-range
33"+ aggressive all-terrain or mud-terrain tire
Each vehicle must have a GMRS or Ham Radio in good working order
Vehicle Recommendations:
Winch, aftermarket differential covers, high-clearance metal bumpers, low axle gearing, 4:1 transfer case, 35"+ tires.
Spare fuel if you have a thirsty rig (trail is only 40 miles, but there is only 1 shot at refueling in Roosevelt before you hit a long, dead stretch of highway home).
Driver Requirements:
Experience on difficult trails is a plus
A cool head and a positive attitude
