Nice trails . Its to bad video can not give you the concept on how steep some of the hill are. I had pic of me skiing gown some very steep runs but the photos made it look like they were very tame.

I've noticed videos of the Piute Trail that kinda show the same thing. Hills that are really steep don't look that steep, etc. Though in that system there are some easier trails and harder trails. Many times there are more than one route. An easy one and a more challenging one. If you have a 2wd quad, many times you can't make it up the tougher trails. Great trails for sure and plenty wide as well so no issues with even the biggest utvs.

True. I usually try to notice the tree's and how they are leaning. About the best way I've found.

About 20% of the Paiute Trail system is 50" or less, with some 60" or less trails thrown in. One of the 60" or less trails had drop offs of a hundred or more feet. We were going down one of them and I spotted a group of about 10 RZRs coming up. We parked our rental quads as far off the trail as we could. Mine had a tire hanging off over an edge. It took us an hour to get the RZR's by. We had to push on the roll cages to keep them from sending our quads over the edge. Exciting to say the least.

I've been thinking of doing hill climb videos that way. Would give a better idea of steepness.

I guess I should have split that paragraph up. I meant to say the trails in this video appeared to be quite wide. I was referring to the steepness of the trails on the Piute Trail. I guess its harder to read my mind than I thought lol.
