What was the grade on that hill? Looks really steep from the pic.Ran Broken Arrow in Sedona yesterday.
It’s called devils stair case. I’m not sure the exact angle but I’d say a little more than 45 degrees. You pretty much slide down it. Brakes can’t stop you.What was the grade on that hill? Looks really steep from the pic.

My butt-clench inclinometer told me 45. I didn’t think to pull up the off road angle displays. Looks pretty steep from the driver seat.
24-25 with a bit at 30 degrees per the video
Hi Kent,I HATE mud, always travel thru those spots as slow as I can...
Awesome pics, I'd like to do that some day, as well.Ran Broken Arrow in Sedona yesterday.
„An expert is a person who has found out by his own painful experience all the mistakes that one can make in a very narrow field.“Hi Kent,
We teach in the Advanced Off Road course at Ford to head straight into mud and do not turn the wheel until you can bank off the other side of the mud pit...even if it is way longer than you think you need to go. Sort of a rim shot....otherwise...it is stuck city....Winch??? Help!!!!
And there is tons of technique that seasoned vets have learned.. I loved going places were "Jeep only" applied....But I would not venture with our Green Valley 4x4 group. Egos are big and experience is limited. Big ego guy in a brand new Jeep rolled it on its side..He had "tons" of experience in his own mind. Then came the upside down jeep that had to be dragged out of the narrow crossing...some $15,000 later the poor Jeep was back his garage....So much for being the expert. EX is a Has Been and a Spert is a Drip under pressure...
Best,
Phil
I really miss my MI roots sometimes. I never made it up that far north, especially to do any off-roading, but it's so gorgeous. I'm just a little envious.Back on Drummond again

I can't say I blame you. I'll be heading to GA at the end of the month from SoCal which means MI trips will be feasible. My plan is to try and make it up there at least once/year.I can’t get up here enough
Once a year for 6 months sounds perfect ?I can't say I blame you. I'll be heading to GA at the end of the month from SoCal which means MI trips will be feasible. My plan is to try and make it up there at least once/year.
I've been all over this country for work, including AK and HI, and honestly MI is just one of the most gorgeous places I've ever lived. Sure, there's no mountains, but man the lakes and islands and forests are hard to beat.Once a year for 6 months sounds perfect ?
