Bone stock will be tough but it probably can be done. I have not completed this trail because of the fact that I didn't want to risk body damage on my bone stock JKU ( but now i'm not stock )

For sure there is room. Here is a link to a site that has a pretty good breakdown of the trail.

Was thinking like 9 or 10 in Gold Canyon at the shell. Maybe the earlier if we have a couple more rigs making the trek. What do you guys think?

My vote would be 9 am. It is a long way back there, so the earlier the better.

I agree, from what I remember, its about 50 minutes to the "start of the trail" with about 30 minutes of that being on dirt. 9 am it is at the shell station off the 60 and mountain brook. Whos in?!

So I finally got myself into the valley today to explore potential new homes. It's more beautiful than I imagined. I rented a JKU to cruise around in. Would like to hit some easy trails since its bone stock. Any suggestions. We're staying in scottsdale, but we'll be traveling all over the east and the west valley over the next week. Thanks everyone!

^^^Montana Mountain is one of the best easy trails in the east valley in my opinion. What a perfect morning for wheeling, F MY LIFE Well off to work I go...

Montana Mt. is real fun trail and great for stock. Also, Four Peaks, another fun, easy trail. Enjoy!
