Yup.

Here's a link to a thread from a previous trip with pics of a map (front and back) that shows the layout of the place. It's owned by a mining company, and has active "harvesting" areas (coal, natural gas, wind) interspersed among the 160 miles of trail. The difficult trails are about all most would want to handle (assuming say 35s and at least 2" of lift). The extreme trails are pretty crazy - we met some folks that were on R1 and they told us the boulders were the size of their vehicles. Count me out with respect to that rock garden.

Wow. There needs to be a huge JK forum event here. Maybe sometime next summer...August maybe? haha, that's the first month I will be able to go. This place just looks like a gigantic Jeep playground. And there's lots of lodging nearby, and camping. And it looks awesome. And it would be fun. And we can cover more of the 72,000 acres. And it would be awesome (did i say that already?)

They do hold a Jeep Jamboree there in the Spring time. It is huge. You can easily get lost in the place--I am speaking from experience.
