TheX Posted August 11, 2025 Share Posted August 11, 2025 I see that the trails are closed Monday thru Thursday, then appear open for the next month. Is this normal or maybe a result of flood damage? I plan on 3 days and two nights just me and my new baby Bronco and my e-bike. My wife's health is not ideal and I have someone to stay with her for that time. I honestly need a break. I'll contact them of course, just wondering if anyone has info to share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Docscotty Posted August 11, 2025 Share Posted August 11, 2025 For as long as I recall, RPR trails are closed during the week. That said, it’s a great place to ride if you’ve never been. Completely different terrain with many options for every style of riding. Fair warning…..theres lots of exposure on those granite domes. It will be scorching hot this time of year. I prefer fall through spring but if you can take the heat, those sweet trails will be all yours. Enjoy the peace and quiet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's close enough that I can be home quickly if anything needs my attention. Deborah has a long history of heart issues and that is always on my mind. She is amazing, and tends to hide things so I don't worry. Anyway, I think arriving there early Thursday, and coming home late Saturday would make for a fun trip.

TheX Posted August 27, 2025 Author Share Posted August 27, 2025 Deborah, my amazing wife is comfortable with me doing more than one night away. She has serious medical issues that make things a little more tricky. We always discuss things like this, with kindness. I'm planning on 2 nights just to get a taste of all of it. It's only a couple hours away but it's like any out of town trip. They have an 800 yard range, and...I have a Savage 110 Stealth Evolution chambered in .338 Lapua Magnum. No scope in pic, but it has an e-bikes worth of glass on it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheX Posted August 30, 2025 Author Share Posted August 30, 2025 I have my vacation planned the last week of Sept. Since I've never been there, I'm doing a day trip tomorrow. That way I'll know what to expect for the two nights camping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheX Posted August 31, 2025 Author Share Posted August 31, 2025 Ok, just got back. I have to say that place is WILD. It was raining, and I had a blast. Fell down a few times, met some cool people. The RED trails are the challenging ones, and they will harm you if you aren't paying attention. Very rustic. They have cabins as well but they are sold out the weekend I'm going. Oh yeah, rode the BMX/flow/jump line and it tried to kill me also. Oh, yeah....one more thing. I am VERY glad to have a class one e-bike. And I forgot to take any pics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheX Posted September 13, 2025 Author Share Posted September 13, 2025 Heading out to RPR this morning. I loved the day I had in the rain, loads of fun but it made it hard to really see what they have going on. Since I'll be camping there in a couple weeks, I wanted to be more familiar with it.

TheX Posted September 15, 2025 Author Share Posted September 15, 2025 Two different things affect the trails there... 1. Eclipse leftovers - Apparently there were 40,000 attending the festival until the Sheriff's office shut it down for flood concerns. There are a few concrete bridges that have been damaged by the latest flood. There are b-lines to go around them without issue. 2. Those evil little round stickers that love to attach to our socks permanently. They have a skid steer ready and are starting trail maintenance so it should improve. I'm camping there in a couple weeks but it's more just a short away from home trip. I don't see myself riding there often. TBF, I have not ridden all of it, so my opinion is from a narrow sampling.

TheX Posted September 22, 2025 Author Share Posted September 22, 2025 Well, heading out there Thursday afternoon, staying for two nights. I have a solution for the stickers that kill socks, and no commitments other than relaxing. I'm leaving Lily the dog at home for this trip. I have a scope mounted on the Savage sniper (haha, hunting actually) so gonna get some shooting in as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheX Posted September 25, 2025 Author Share Posted September 25, 2025 Enjoying the first of two nights out here. So peaceful. Oh, that is an electric fan, I have a 3.6KW solar generator in the Bronco Sport. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheX Posted September 28, 2025 Author Share Posted September 28, 2025 Oh, the trails only being open Friday at 2 till Sunday night is because of live fire and other ranch business activities. Unfortunately, I can NOT fire 338 Lapua Magnum at their range. They said that the round is too bouncy...that makes no sense. I could see not liking 50 BMG, but c'mon.
