There's a little bit of everything out there. I don't know if this helps but it goes along the lines of the ratings for ski trails, green easiest, blue moderate and then the black and up that are the toughest that you would need the most mods for. I have gone with some friends who have stock (as in like no mods AT ALL) JKU's and they had some difficulty but no damage. Last time I went i was running 32's on a 2.5"BB and I had no problems. It's a good time. The rule is a minimum of 2 vehicles per group, so if we get enough people to go and some people want to break off and run the blues and others want to stick to green that would be great!

You would be fine on greens and blues. I take my stock jkur on blues with no damage. Greens are fun the first time u go, then get boring. I gotta get out to rausch again soon. I generally can only do sat or sun.

I believe that is the Beach Buggy Pass which hasn't been available yet this year due to erosion. The Beach Buggy pass give you access to the strip that goes from Cedar Beach to Sore Thumb.. I think.
