We have been on a few off roading trips in the raptor but today i think we tested it just about as much as we could have wanted.
I know some others are much more extreme than this, but the trail we went on very much rattled our nerves!
First and foremost the raptor itself, absolutely perfect. Anything i asked of it, it did and with ease. there was never a point i felt that i was asking it to do something that was difficult for it or that it did not feel right at home doing.
The trail we went on was leading up to Almagre Mountain. At first it felt no big deal, Until the pucker moments....
on the side of a cliff at about 11,000 feet several areas had very large washouts that just so happen to be already narrow and rittled with large rocks. we ended up finding an area large enough to do what felt like a 10 point turn and did so. Unbeknownst to us we only had another half mile of that until we reached an open area and then the summit.
At the time looking at the map and GPS it was unclear wether the trail got any better so we decided best to turn around.
