Texas Hidden Falls Newbie Run


Calling all TX Wayalifers! Myself and my wife are heading down to Hidden Falls Adventure area the first weekend in October. I'm looking for some fellow Wayalifers to head down with us and have some fun in a day filled with mild-moderate Jeeping & a night filled with camping and fun!

We will be camping friday night inside the park and then running trails all day Saturday. This trip is more of a BEGINNER trip but we will have fun!! We will have a short meeting prior to departing for the trail-head Saturday morning involving spotter tips, disconnecting sway bars, and airing down tires for those that need assistance with it.

I want to stress again, that this will be a BEGINNER run with mostly stock Jeeps. The trails we will be doing will be very mild, more scenic trails(WITH BYPASSESS) We must all be patient with each other, learn and have fun. We have one main trail attraction for the day, and if we are able to finish that one with still plenty of daylight left, we will have some bonus more technical trails. None of us will be here to prove anything, just to have fun. No one should be ashamed to take a bypass or say no to an obstacle, and we are all here to help each other have fun and get home safe

ITINERARY

FRIDAY

Between 4PM-5PM, We will be meeting at the Marble Falls walmart supercenter parking lot. This will be where our convoy will come together! My wife ( or myself) will be snapping pictures of everyone with there rigs so that, 1. We will have an awesome photo album of the trip for Wayalife. and 2. So everyone can have pictures of there family with their rigs. At about 5pm we will be departing Walmart heading over to "Holy Smokes! BBQ" for our welcome dinner, that way everyone can get to know each other and fellowship.

At about 6PM-6:30PM, We will then convoy to Hidden falls where everyone can pay park entrance fees and we can set up camp. We will and have a great time camping and enjoying the stars and games.

SATURDAY(TRAIL DAY)

We ask that you be ready for a Drivers meeting at 6:30AM(subject to change) In this meeting, we will cover Sway bar disconnecting, airing down tires, discussing spotting, answering any questions, and checking over our rigs. At 7AM sharp, we will be headed out for the first trail of the day.

TRAILS

Our main trail for the day will be NORTHPOLE/NORTHPEAK This trail is a scenic trail with some difficult obstacles, but all of which have bypasses. This trail will take about half of our day, then we will be stopping for lunch.

We will also be doing trails such as FEEDER CREEK,TRO, and or HOG VALLEY


If anyone from the Tyler/Dallas/Longview or any other areas would like to meet us and convoy with us Friday, you are more than welcome too, just let me know.

I'm going to start a going list of 10 Jeepers at this point, that way, there isn't to big of a group and we don't have to separate into several groups.

REQUIREMENTS

1. I ask that you please have a working CB radio, this makes the experience that much more enjoyable

2. Rocker Protection(Rubi Rails, any type of slider)

3. A great attitude



When you post up as going, Please post a picture of your rig so we know what to look for!!

Hope to see you on the trail soon!

Easy/moderate should be fine with a mostly stock JKUR right?

I'm still talking with the owner to find out.. Maybe someone with experience at hidden falls will chime in? Either way we will have recovery gear and winches so we should have you covered!

Excellent news nick! Looks like we will be doing level 1-3 and maybe 1 or 2 fours :)

Thanks for chiming in!

no problem!

its even better that some of you have winches, so that way you can get out with ease.
the Texas thread has a good amount of photos from hidden falls that we've done to get an idea.

the last page is when i went about a month or so ago. and i think there should be one more trip in there that we all did.

Edit: page 16 was one of them also.
