Just make sure your braking system is in great shape.
So here's my report from this weekend's events.
I took off from work on Friday around 3:30pm and headed up to Fort Paine to the Little River Canyon Backcountry area. It's miles of off road trails and the description on the NPS said 4x4 only which was a given based on looking at the river...
