They have different trails for different levels of off road. From what I've read they have a little of everything on a whole lot acreage. I've been told by other members that have been there a stock titan will do just fine as long as you use the intermediate trails and stay away from the more technical rock crawling ones. I only have a leveling kit on my titan so I guess I'll find out soon enough.

I don't think any of the titan owners going to this will want to risk damage to their truck on some of these extreme trails...but I'm taking my video camera just in case someone does LOL!!!
