Day 1

We split up into two groups, one group ran the tougher trail, smasher, someone from that group will have to tell that story, but from what I heard it’s the toughest that trail has been in a long time. The other group that we were part of headed down dirt roads from Smasher towards Sedona. The dirt roads were in about as good of a shape as they come, we managed to complete 1/3 of our planned dirt road in about 20 minutes, to make a day out of it, we decided to head up the Powerline OHV trail. I briefly read about it, and knew there were some “tougher” parts but should be easy enough. It was a perfect mix of great views, smooth roads that could be driven two wheel drive, and some tougher 4x4 low range sections. Once we got done with that trail, we headed towards Greasy Spoon. We ran the trail from the top down, as the Jeep tours in the area do, looking back at it now, it would have been more fun to do it from the bottom up, so that you’d get to climb the steeper parts instead of sliding down them.
