Thought I would do a write up on it and share this wonderful part of our world

First off I was just there on Sunday for a nice 80 mile cruise on my old, slow RZR

Than it hit me that the mud creek glacier broke a chunk off of it back in September

So I went to go investigate it

What I found was one of the most interesting washes that I have seen for utv riding

I rode it some and would have explored it more, if not for the fact that I was riding alone

Would love to have a few or all of you Crazy UTV riders come up and ride this new wash its amazing

Will post more as time goes on

For now I will use the Thread for writing, posting pics, videos and future rides

AlfaBaz

I think Ed and Leo are coordinating their rides; Castle Crags on Saturday and the volcano on Sunday. Castle Crags will be about a 45 minute drive from the camping/staging area Leo showed us. I'm not sure exactly where Sunday's ride is, but all the way around the volcano is accessible (to one degree or another!) from the camping/staging area.

You can Ride any-where from Camping area so no need to worry about Trailing your rig

I will post some routes, google maps of the ride

Have found some pretty cool trails over the last 7 years of riding the Volcano

Beach Leo
06-04-2015, 11:58 PM
The Day of the Ride if its 100 degrees in Redding the Volcano will be a nice 70-80 degrees

Depending on ride Elevations

prolly ride between 3000'-7500' Elevations The lower the Warmer the higher the Cooler Like That

If you mean the trip all the way around the mountain, it was right at 85 miles. Of course we had to do some back tracking a few times when we tried a trail that didn't go through (or when we let Leo lead!).

Hey Rick, were you talking about camping Friday night before the ride, or Saturday night between the Castle Crags ride and the Volcano ride? Patti and I are planning to camp Friday night at Castle Crags, then Saturday afternoon (after the ride) drive the 30-45 minutes up the road to the Volcano "staging area" to camp. Love to have you join us...........

Just got back

Did plenty of pre-riding, about 300 miles worth

Found a close staging area to my place

I can ride right from my park to Volcano

How-ever would not wanna do it with big group ride

Had a good time working and finding new trails

You would think after 7 years of riding up here I would know all the roads and trails

That is not the case, in fact I still get lost from time to time and find new trails every-time

Took this pic today

Grand-Son and I did 3 days of pre-riding the volcano and crags last week

Its a great, safe-way to teach-em how to drive and get-em at a young age to have fun with Gra-pa

All he wanted to do was Drive and make me ride

He is a very good driver for being a young 14

He will be my private chauffeur on these rides coming up
