Ever wanted to experience some of the toughest terrain the Ozarks offers — but weren’t sure if it’s your thing?

This is your opportunity.

We’re running a low-cost, low-maintenance expedition focused on driver skill and real terrain. You bring your camping setup. We bring the route, the guidance, and the experience to keep the group moving safely and efficiently.

This is not a training class.
This is not a spectator event.
This is advanced terrain, responsibly managed.

Vehicle Philosophy

We are not rig-ist.

Our scout vehicle for this route:
1st Gen Tacoma

• 33” tires

• Rear locker

• No winching required

We teach driver skill over vehicle modification every day.

Our baseline expectation is:
Run what you’ve got.

Just understand:

• The more built your vehicle is, the lower the likelihood of winching.

• Lighter builds may experience light terrain contact.

• Preparation reduces friction — but skill matters more.

If your vehicle is mechanically sound, equipped with recovery points, and you understand the risk, you’re welcome.

This Trip Is For You If:

• You have prior off-road experience

• You are comfortable with technical terrain

• You accept that scratches and dirt are part of the game

• You want guidance without hand-holding

This Trip Is Not For:

• Greenhorn off-road drivers

• Brand-new builds you’re afraid to use

• Drivers looking for a bypass-only experience

If you’ve been on the fence about harder terrain, this is the most accessible way to find out where you stand.

Spots are limited to 8 vehicles.
We run at 5 minimum.

Starting Location:

Simmons Quik Stop
11530 N Hwy 71, Mountainburg, AR 72946
