Web site/Directions
Rausch has 4 basic grades of trails;
Green; stock truck, Gravel-(Easy) Dirt/small rock-(Mild)
Blue; armor (skid plates, sliders) or a stock truck with a very good spotter, Large rock-(Hard)
Black; full armor, recovery gear, proper mind set, Boulders-(Extreme)
Red; require a park guide, stay off of them.
Green trails range in difficulty from flat dirt roads to slightly off-camber and rocky trails. These are good for inexperienced wheelers and bone stock vehicles. Threat of vehicle damage is non-existent on most as long as you drive responsibly, however brush scratches are possible.
There are really two grades of Blue trails at Rausch; “easy†and “hard†or Blue/Black.
Stock vehicles can handle most “easy†Blues but without skid plates and rock sliders, both undercarriage damage and rocker panel damage can happen. Careless or inattentive driving can result in body damage.
Most “hard†Blues are rocky, tight and off-camber and really should only be attempted with a 32" or larger tires. Full protection of the undercarriage and rocker panels is a good idea (unless you just don't care about your truck). Any vehicle with tires smaller than 32" will spend a good part of the day at the end of a tow strap or winch. These trails require attentive driving and concentration.
Your truck can get F’d up on any Blue trail so if you absolutely can not have any damage stay on the Greens.
Although I've seen it done I wouldn’t run Black trails with less than 33" tires and full protection. At least 1 locker would ease your pain and a winch would make you less of a drag to have along. Black trails require a somewhat carefree attitude towards damage and breakage. You should have full recovery gear including a front and rear tow point. You should possess some ability, tools and a few supplies to repair breakage that you might incur.
