I can't remember if I added these, but found some rocks on Rodriguez canyon or something like that out in anza, and also ran sandstone canyon. My buddy said last time he went to sandstone it was way harder, we definitely hit the trail when it was a cake walk (unfortunately). Still had some fun sections like the "gatekeeper" which really isn't hard, there was a fun ledge to climb up, but not hard, and a narrow V section which when we went wasn't deep enough to really create a challenge, but still fun and exciting to be just inches away from a wall at some points.
Sliders we're used as a pivot coming back over the "gate keeper" to exit the trail and I might have tapped my bumper on something at some point but that's what it's for. Oh and rubbed a little paint off a fender flare, but that'll get cut off for 35" tires eventually anyways. These 33" tires are starting to look small, I need to save faster haha.

I'd really like to get back out to Sandstone Canyon this season. Last time I was there with @85straight and we stopped couple miles in and camped right before a decently challenging looking obstacle. I didn't try it since I made camp instead. I wonder how much further back you can actually drive into that canyon. Anyone know?

Depends on conditions. A couple years ago there were 2 sections you had to get over and then it dead ended at a 3rd. The canyon flash floods and changes every year. I'll see if I can find some pictures of it later at home.

I failed to get a picture at the end, but there was a spot where we couldn’t go any further. There was a side trail (or so it looked to be) off to the side, but we didn’t explore it since David was having issues with his truck.

Gets pretty narrow-

I just realized your 2nd picture (in the first set of pics) is of the 2nd obstacle from 2 years ago. There's no first one anymore? You used to have to ride the wall and pivot off your slider to get around it.
