Anaconda
Trail Rating: 4.5
Anaconda is another of the many challenging trails in the Table Mesa area. Once in this trail you are pretty much committed. Turning around isn't really an option. This trail is a narrow twisty trail that begins at the bottom of a canyon. The entrance ascends this narrow canyon with sheer rock walls. There are several steep, sheer climbs with large rocks situated in a fashion that provides a nice challenge for the appropriately equipped rig and driver.
Please review the required equipment and heed the advice. As with any extreme trail, you will likely require a winch at some point and spare parts are required. Expect body damage.

The chute is the first major challenge. The large rocks in the middle add to the challenge.

The Gate Keeper is at the top of the chute. Don't worry, it's optional. This obstacle requires the 4.5 rating.

Please do not stack rocks on the trails. If you need to place a rock to get through, be very sure to put it back when you are done so that the next group can enjoy the trails challenges.
