Along Berdoo Canyon Road is this formidable hillclimb that doesn't look tough, but when I had 33's and no lift wasn't exactly possible. The other vehicles that made the climb had a difficult time ascending. This short section - usually on three wheels.

Looks a bit like this climb I found. I, uh, did not ascend. Still have a stock JTR... Even with a lift and tires, it looks difficult... might be hard to tell in the picture, but there are several vertical hazards, kind of a stair-step kinda deal.

And to think, a lot of these trails were made back in the horse and carriage days.

Not sure if this is an actual trail?

There were definitely tire marks going up it. Can't say who or in what vehicle though. Let's of ATVs, quads and dirt bikes run through here.
I see the tire marks now. Looks challenging.
