Trail Rating System
From Gold Hills Posse 4x4 Club
To make it easier for you to determine if a run will be suitable for your vehicle and/or family, below you will find our rating system. If a trail is new to us, we will indicate so on the run announcement, and include whatever information we have about it. Naturally, weather conditions and other forces can change the conditions of a trail from day to day.
