Pinyon Mountain Trail completed.

[Rollcast]

I can only speak to a couple. Pinyon Mountain is a little more complex and I obviously don’t recommend taking a Gladiator through the squeeze lol. But for the rest it’s fairly easy with some amazing views and wildflowers. Definitely worth the trip down there.

Is there an alternate route around the squeeze or is that the only way out?

That’s the only way unfortunately but you can always run it in reverse all the way to the squeeze and then back down again. Heart attack hill going up will be good fun also.

Has anyone ever got their gladiator thru the squeeze with no damage? Or is it just geometrically, dimensionally and physically not possible? I am bummed if its not possible, I really want to get that badge. UPDATE; it looks like it is doable;

As a local I've been through it in a 2001 Xtra Cab Tacoma and my 2013 2-door JK.
If you spend more time stacking rocks than it actually takes to get through the obstacle you can do it. Just please put the trail back the way you found it so others can make the choice to stack or just go.

I decided to risk it and I am happy to say that you can make it through in a Jeep Gladiator without body damage. Sorry for the crappy quality video.

I did it and got the measurements when I went thru. I was all set to video it (by myself) it was a very high stress trail with no one else with or around, but it all worked out with just a little wheel rash. very fun trail. My camera blew over just as I started going thru the squeeze, then I couldn't get out to fix it. I was pissed! Nice job! 84" at the doors and 74-76 at the tires. Video here is in the lower canyon, pretty cool trail.

that was a good line. When we did it I was way too far to the right. Nice job!!
