17 April 2019 – Tip Toe Through Hell

Our third trail during the 2019 Jeep Safari was called “Tip Toe through Hell”. This was a slightly less scary version of the famous “Hell’s Revenge” trail. We ran the entire length of the trail, but bypassed the four main “roll-over obstacles”: Hell’s Gate, The escalator, the Hot Tubs and the Tip Over challenge. This was a much different experience than our last two trails. We had about 35 vehicles in our group, and there were quite a few other people running the trail in their own small groups or on their own.

We had many more people in our group on this trail – 35!

The first 100 yards of the trail were the most tense. The trail was marked, but you couldn’t see the tire placement from the driver’s seat. The steep drop offs really played with your mind!

The beginning “fin” was the scariest part of this trail – steep drop offs on both sides
Staying the trail means following the tracks, no matter how crookedy they get

  1. I’m thinking I would rather be on a snowmobile up there. Terrifying! Great stories and videos! Glad you’re both enjoying!
