Going to cover some sort of trail in this 1/2 hour episode. Might be worth a look. They mainly will be talking about the town of PHX though.

Well it was a short little segment but it looked like a nice easy trail, a bit steep in parts but nothing we couldn't do. It's up in Payson and Payson Adventures use a prerunner with ISF to go through it at speeds higher then we would. The driver even made a comment about where the "off-roaders" would turn around while he kept going.

Anyway it's called the Canyon of Insanity and it is supposidly seperated into two parts. The first named Mr. Toad's Wild Ride and the second called Roller Coaster.

So anyone heard of this place? It looked like maybe a 2.5 to a 3 on the 5 scale, based on what I saw. No rocks, just trail and a few steep and off camber spots. The views did look really nice though.

Found some info on it:

Mr. Toad's Wild Ride $62 / person, Kids $30
Come join us on the Wild Side! You will start your ride on a forest dirt road, but this will quickly change when we come to the Canyon of Insanity. Shortly after the Canyon of Insanity we will enter Mr. Toad's Canyon. Time to check your Safety Belt because now we're on the Wild Side! Once we complete Mr.Toad's Canyon it's not over, because the next obstacle is the Roller Coaster!! This is not just a normal Roller Coaster that takes three minutes, our Coaster takes 20 minutes! Yes, an E- Ticket Ride!
