First family trip out with our badlands

[Mikerider]

Got out for a long weekend with my wife, our 2 boys and dog.

I wanted to share some pictures from the trip...

We ran a trail I have done before, it’s steep-ish with sustained hill climbs around 20 degrees. Lots of loose rock and it’s a bit narrow but a fun trail overall

The bronco made obstacle seem easy. Super nice to be able to quickly switch the front locker on when needed and this was the first run playing with the sway bar disconnect. Worked great

I was very happy with how well it handled our small travel trailer also, is super tight to hitch up though, so I will be swapping the trailer coupler out to s side lock coupler with the low profile latch.

I love where I live, amazing views where ever you turn. looking at Mt Rainier.

last climb up to the towers

ridge line on the way.

lot of loose football sized rock in places

some deep trenches to navigate on the hill climbs

Made it to the top

my boys enjoying the views and exploring

2 broncos, and almost a bronco with my buddies explorer.

Looks great. No doubt the boys will be able to look back in fondness of the memories being made.

I could not wipe the smiles off their faces the whole weekend. Made me a happy parent.

Raven's Roost... love that route and the payoff on a nice clear day like that is hard to beat!! I haven't been up there since November of 2019... Maybe we'll bump into you up there sometime!

Dont tell anyone but that one is a Navajo with an expo face lift. under 100k on it too with ARBs in both axles 4.56 gears and 33s. Paul takes great care wheeling it to keep it looking strait too.

its a fantastic place and a nice way to see what a new vehicle will do up the pipeline trail. nice to have an easy FS road back down too.
