Bunce Trail

[colobronco]

How difficult is bunce trail if I skip the ironclads loop?

For someone with no off-road (besides forest service roads to trailheads in a sedan) would it be a good introduction?

I see TFL does a bunch of their tests on the ironclads since it's close to Boulder. Is the rest of it pretty easy?

Here’s the intro from All Trails:

Bunce is doable in any stock SUV. No armor needed.

Iron clads is a step up, I’d say 33’s & armor recommended. Top loop is very steep.

Plane crash is similar to Iron clads but…it’s not a loop and it’s pretty narrow. This makes encountering oncoming traffic a bit spicy.

The entire area suffers from erosion (T33 & top loop on iron clads) and high use, so the trail is always changing.

I live very close to these trails and don’t roll them anymore because they’ve become a complete goat rodeo in the past several years.

it’s a fun spot but I’d avoid weekends

Thanks for the detailed review. I figure any local trails are overrun with OHVs on weekends.

Old post, I know, but for anyone who has 0% off road experience I thought this would help. We just went through bunce school road and had a blast! We stayed off of the hard-core stuff and had no problems. We have a non sasquatch outerbanks 2.3 that we put a 2 inch lift and bigger (all terrain but e rated) tires on and she handled it like a champ. Saw a 2 door base and a 4 door (unknown but velocity blue with sasquatch) out there. It's great for noobs like us because it isn't far from town and it isn't a long trail. I recommend it.
