Off-roading on Iron Lakes Trail
October 28 2011Filed under: freelander land-rover lr2 off-roading
This was my first off-roading trip in the LR2. We found the trail while on our way to Fresno Dome in Backcountry Adventures Northern California. I'll talk about that book in another post.
The trail is rated 5 - moderate. High clearance 4x4 SUVs are recommended. The trail took us much longer than it would've taken an SUV with 12-15 inches of clearance (the LR2 only has 8.3). We were pretty careful picking our lines and had a spotter out on the trail for much of the time.
These three photos were taking on the way to Iron Lakes Trail (we took an easier trail to get there):
You can find more information about Iron Lakes Trail on gentryoffroad.com. In these photos I had just installed the roof rack and was using a roof rack basket and all weather bag. More details in my previous blog post.
