In order for us to make it safely in and out of the trail you'll have to learn how to read the signs of the trail. Main objective is to keep tires and vehicle healthy. Tire damage is the #1 cause of people getting stranded.

Blackened rocks indicate that others have rubbed their tires against them. If others had difficulties there - you might have them too. So, be extra careful!

In case you decide to squeeze between two rocks, stay as close as possible to the one on the driver side - then its more likely it is that you have enough room on the other side. The right side tires, especially the right rear suffer the most from driver errors. Eventually they'll give up and go flat. If uncertain about the space you have, you can either employ a spotter to direct you or drive over the obstacle on your side.


Scratches on rocks are another warning flag - if others had difficulties here, you might have them as well. Placing additional rocks in strategic places will defuse challenges like this. I'll show you on the trail how to do that.
