Conor Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I'm hoping to do a trip up in this neck of the woods in September. I don't have a 4x, and I have never seen the road types up there, so I was hoping for some general info. I'll be kickin' it in a minivan for about a week, so anyting more than rough is probably not a good idea. What is the FRT like N and S of Hwy 11? How about the 752 b/w Rocky and the FTR? Are some of the industry roads around there useable for a car? I'm mainly worried about washout prone areas etc. that might trap me in there. Or shale type roads that are rough on tires. I won't push to hard to get in to a spot; I can walk a long way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heimdallr Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Yeah, the roads are pretty decent. I used to take my little Saturn SC1 on the Trunk Road all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishfreak Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 I was able to get to everywhere I wanted to in my little Mazda 323 before I upgraded to my SUV. You should be good to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
